Acknowlege

Sometimes
People ask
What words
Of comfort
Could be said
That would ease
My pain

And I think

There are
No words

But it helps when people

Don’t guess at the reasons
Or the tell me how it is going to turn out

It helps when people

Don’t ignore my pain
Talking about everything but

It helps when people

Just acknowledge
How hard it must be
Say I’m sorry if they are

Just

Acknowledge
My pain

That would be nice

You’d be surprised

How rarely
People
Acknowledge
What they fear
