It hurts me

You lie so broken in your world,
there is no more light, no bliss,
your happiness, oh, so tainted,
it kills me to see you like this.

I just want to wrap my arms around you,
but because of some reason, I don't,
I want to tell you that everything will be okay,
but I can't, because I know it won't.

I want to tell you how much I'm hurting,
but I don't, for I cannot speak,
I hold your hand, I hold it tight,
as I kiss away the tears from your cheek.

You look at me with your beautiful eyes,
as you quietly utter ' don't cry '
I am the one who is slowly dying,
but you are the one who will die.

I can feel the pain approaching,
and to see you like this breaks my heart,
my hopes, my wishes, my entire world
is slowly falling apart.

It will hurt me so much, and I will cry,
but I know that you will understand,
I softly whisper ' I love you ' in your ear,
as you slowly let go of my hand...

What words will never explain...
