Held

the randomness...
the senselessness...
you work
to make life count
and then
it comes to this

and in the end...
you're left with pain...
and someone
writes a song
and it
just seems inane

there is no way...
to justify...
find meaning in
your loss, you know
but still
we try

there are no words...
you need to hear...
you only want
the comfort
and it seems
so clear

it's in our hearts...
we want to take...
your misery
to share your grief
and ease
the ache

well-meaning words...
it's just the thought...
and sinking down
too weak to stand
with arms
you're caught

held up and loved...
in silence there...
is something more
than words can say
to show we care

Just being there.
