If I knew the right words

to make an elixir for your heart

I would whisper them to you

and practice the healer’s art.

But words are just words

and really cannot heal.

So you will have to suffer

and let this pain feel.

As much as I want to

I cannot take the hurt away.

But I can sit here with you;

I promise I will stay.
