As I watch your world shatter
mine does too
into a complex mix of compassion
and putting myself in your shoes
I’m glad it’s not me
but I don’t want it to be you
What can I say
that could possibly take the pain away?
There are no words
and there’s no need
Words can’t heal a broken heart
and mourning has its own unique path
Pull the pain close
if it helps you honour their memory
Rush into life if it helps you cope
No one holds the answers to your heartache
Only you can find the way
and I’m sure it changes every day
What can I say
as mortality reveals itself?
Nothing can alter what’s happened
nothing can take away its power
You’ll find your own way through
and all I can say is
I will not abandon you
“Words can’t heal a broken heart
and mourning has its own unique path” is such a validation. Very sincere and considerate and tender. 💚
