Can't

It's hard, being miles apart from someone you truly love.

More when you hear something terrible happened.

When you can't comfort them,

They are too far away,

To run up to them and hold them.

To wipe away their tears,

To whisper in their ear;

"Its okay, I am here. I will be here until you can smile and are better."

But you can't.

You are stuck,

You can't drive to them.

You have no way to get there.

You heart is breaking,

A tear slowly drips down your cheek.

It is so painful, knowing you can't do anything for them.

It's like a tiny knife slowly stabbing you in the heart.

All you can do is sit there.

You can feel the hurt seeping in more as you sit there,

But you can't do anything to stop it.

You just sit and quietly cry.
