Long Distance Pain

I feel so helpless

My friend is in pain and there is only swirls in my brain

What do I say? I know it’s not okay

Do I cheer him up and have him forget about the pain or am I just suppose to be there standing with him in the rain

I want to scream

But all I can do is dream

Dream about the comfort I could give or the help I could bring

But my eyes open and I’m back in my bed

Not even able to kiss him on the head

I wonder what would happen if I got in the car and just drive

1 day and I could see into his sad eyes

See the loss, the pain, behind his disguise

What good would that bring? It’s only a selfish dream

To want to hug him and hold him and wake him up

I miss him so much yet we’ve never touched

He pieced my soul and I can’t control how much I want to be there for him

But here I sit... leaving him alone…
