Her sorrow

 

 

 

 

Her sorrow

 

I have tasted sadness

rolling down her face

Searching for those yesterdays,

emptiness to trace

~

Her heart as if a dagger

is thrust so deep inside

With tears to fill a cavern

and pain she can not hide

~

This loss, so overwhelming

of weight too hard to bear

Her sorrow is my sadness

in friendship I do share

~

I long to take her grieving,

eliminate her pain

Lock it deep within my soul

to never show again

Sorrow shared is half sorrow, or so the proverb goes... So hard when the grief is so deep, though. A true friend you are, Jack.

We cannot take another's sorrow or even share it.

Sorrow must be born ablone...

But we can try Marie. Thanks so much.

When a true soulmate is sad, you're too, this is such a selfless piece of beauty and grief Jack, I feel the pain too, for I feel her too.... through your words, through her silence, and in my thoughts, I'm with her.

You wrote here a piece out of true friendship, and to read this although it's sad, made my day, because I know you strengten her... with ever little piece you write. Thank you for sharing your heart.
