The pain of others is worse than your own. How do you comfort someone who won't pick up the phone? Who acts fine, but cries when alone? Please don't scream, please don't cry. Just sit here, wait for someone else to die. How about another friend, maybe your dog, too. But what can I say, what can I do? I'm hopelessly trapped, and it wasn't even MY friend. It really isn't fair he came to such an end. But who am I to say what's fair? I actually have my whole family, I shouldn't dare. But, surprise surprise, I really do care. I love all of my friends, though they don't seem to see. I couldn't stand if they were to leave me. But it's not about me, that was selfish to say. Especially as a family mourns this day. I'm shit at comforting, that's an honest fact. I never know what to say, how to act. "I'm sorry for you loss" has been long overused. I'm worried that what I say will only light a fuse. So I'll just sit in silence, as others now must mourn. I'm sorry to all, I really am, whose hearts are newly torn.
