HOW
How do you console someone who has lost a close one to the shackles of death,
how do you listen to that persons voice as it rings with sadness and utter "sorry"
what do you say after sorry?
How can you console someone who has perhaps lost their biggest joy and strength,
what does mere words do? and does your presence even reduce the aching pain they feel?
See when your loved one loses a loved one, it hurts,
it hurts you that they are hurt, and that pain for me in unexplainable,
you wish you could take their pain away, wish that you had the powers to change things.
But instead you weep,
with them or behind close doers
&
you pray for them and for the one who has departed.
Yet you still feel empty, still left wishing you could do more.
You are still left wondering
how ?
how do you begin to console someone who has lost a close one to the shackles of death
