love her not because you’re merely supposed to
but because oh,
she deserves to be loved.

this numb heart of mine,
couldn’t help but tear up,
as he read this girl,
while she talked about the day,
she lost her dad.

oh, tell me,
how do you console someone,
who lost her everything?

how do i dare tell her
that it’ll be alright,
when the one,
that she continues to love so dearly
has already departed?

is there anything, really
that oh, i can do
to make her feel better
even when time itself
fails to wholly extinguish
the pain of losing
a loved one

oh, how when she wrote;

“No matter how much I cried to him, how much I screamed, how lovingly I called him back, my father did not wake up.”

my heart sank
and oh,
i could no longer resist,
the tears
within my eyes

oh, i wept

i wept
as if it were i
who lost whom he loved the most

i wept
as if it were i who called out to his beloved
while he lay there
lifeless

oh, i wept
for her pain, had really become mine

tell me,
just what do you do,
to lighten the pain,
that she’s slowly drowning herself in
as she revisits every memory of him

tell me,
what do you do
to help make her smile

when
every corner of her house
smells of a presence
that oh now lies
in ashes

tell me, just what is it
that oh, i should do
such that she doesn’t feel the way
that she does

just what is it????

place your lips, my love
wherein; they seem to smile the most

hold my hand, tight; my love

just the way

i held your smile
with that of mine
