Saddest Thing

I saw him sitting there,

With his head in his hands,

Gasping for air in between sobs,

His entire body was shaking,

It was the saddest fucking thing.

All I want to do is pull him close,

Hold his hand to calm him,

Gently dry his tear-filled eyes,

And rearrange the hair that strayed.

Let him know that I understand,

Tell him I am just like him,

And be there through his sorrowful days.
