And The Helpless Feeling When Your Loved Ones Hurt

she falls through night

my words cannot reach her cannot catch her she won’t hear them can’t know them

so I whisper, I beg, plead, SHOUT, cry and she falls and she

falls

and she f a l l s

withering away eaten by angst the night is massive it e x p a n d s and devours while all I try burns away like morning dew nothing to the dark

i’m less than enough less than she needs

i reach but can’t touch her pain

helpless to ease unable to stop her descent so she

bleeds her flesh our heart i hold but she pushes i love but she burns care but she rages and i search new words to land on freshly deaf ears and still she falls through the night

who else should catch her before her body finds the ground but i can’t see where she is can’t find the place she’ll meet me can’t figure out how to save my precious hurting girl
