It Pains Me

It pains me to see you like this,

To see you struggle the way that you do.

It pains me to watch you from afar,

Feeling so helpless cause there’s nothing I can do.

 

I stand here eagerly waiting for you to reach out,

Hoping you gave enough faith in me to help you out.

Somehow your peace brings me peace,

And your sanity brings me sanity.

 

It always surprises me at how dependent feelings can be,

My happiness knows no bounds when you’re thriving I see.

It pains me to acknowledge that giving you space is best,

But until you’re better I cannot rest.

 

Take your time and do what you must,

In your abilities I have absolute trust.

I’ll patiently wait for you to get better,

Because I know this storm you will weather.
