Help

I stare into space just waiting for an answer,
What can I say to him? How can I help?

I've seen him once since the very incident,
For a split second, and I wave to him.

I'm wondering how he's holding up,
I wonder how he's coping.

I want to say something, but don't know how,
I don't know what to say and I don't know how to comfort.

I wish I could do something to take their minds off it,
Even for a split second.

I want them to forget the tragedy,
I want them to remember the good times they shared with him.

I want them to remember who he was,
What his achievements were,
What he loved,

I wish I could explain why he did it,
I want to explain why he left us.

I want to help everyone so badly, especially James,
I cry knowing that he hurts inside,
But what can I do to help?
Nothing.
