Poem - Frailty of Words

We sit in total silence
I don't know what to tell you
I see that pain searing your eyes
But words fail me and break on the ground

Your heart is breaking apart
And there's nothing I can do
I see your world torn to pieces
But words fail me and strike the earth

Your tears flowing fast and free
My shoulder catches them all
Your eyes are lifeless and dim
Still words fail me and shatter on the ground

Your mind tears your heart to shreds
As what you want and need collide
Still you know I love you with all my heart
Even as words fail me and hit the earth
