IE Poetry: I'll be there
You have no idea how much it hurts me
To see you in pain and not be able to help
To be halfway across the Earth
While you relive those nightmares,
The ones I share with you.
You have no idea how much it hurts me
To not be able to put those nightmares to rest
To not be able to complete those bits and pieces
I just hope you know,
No matter the distance
That I’m just a text away
And that no matter what,
I’ll always help you wake up
