Speechless

You are -
In so much pain.
I see it consuming you.
And I hate every bit of it.
I just can’t relate; I don’t have a clue.
I just don't understand or know what to do.
You're right across the table but a thousand miles away,
I'm sitting in silence without the slightest clue what to say.
A million things I could say would be a million things said in vain.
Leaving me feeling like a helpless observer to some unknown pain.
Searching for the best way to comfort; the perfect phrase I could say,
Afraid that in the end all I'll manage is a pathetic “It’ll all be ok.”
I just don’t understand or know what to do.
I just can’t relate; I don’t have a clue.
And I hate every bit of it.
And I care about you.
And I’m sorry.
I truly am.
