What do you say?
To a friend in pain
And your words feel weak
Against their sorrow

Do you say you’re sorry?
Though you did nothing wrong
A single word to brace them
When their world is breaking

Do you add more words?
Sorry for your lose or pain.
A standard from the playbook
That feels so insincere.

Is it enough to be there?
Silently staying to hear their tale
Believing you absorb the hurt
But uncertain of your true effect

Do you try to cheer them up?
A silly joke or a charming tale
That could backfire in your face
If told too soon or late

What do you say?
To a friend in pain
When you hurt to see them cry
And feel helpless to their cause
