I.

I’m half a world far away and half a world near

for it’s only my psyche that can only hold you dear

Really wishing that I was there physically

It’s impossible, so this is my entreaty…

II.

The pain you went through, not unimaginable

But the burden placed on your heart reaches my soul

Weighing down the blessings that I was thankful for

Really yearning that I have comforted you more…

III.

All magic of the modern world cannot suffice

Daily mails cannot cover for the sacrifice

The ton of sorrow you’ll endure day in and out

Overwhelming me now that I can only shout…

IV.

Words are abundant but my caress is scarce

And my being is but as far as the stars

Wasted comforting touch that I would have given

Now that a loved one’s soul is trekking to heaven…

V.

I should have been there when that loving hand laid flat

I should have hugged you, but then again I cannot

Should’ve kissed your tears away or cried with you then

Should’ve been there… wishing I was… again and again…

VI.

Caressing your face, only in imagery

Rubbing your back, embracing you closer to me

Yet a peaceful feeling covers me solidly

You know I shared your hurting through this entreaty…
