The Sin In Suffering

If I could take away the pain
and make a story change track,
If it could stem the flow of tide
to chase the darkness back

---

To see the devastating agony 
that tears apart your soul, 
here, I'll keen beside your body 
wishing It could make you whole 

Nobody deserves these losses 
that heaped upon your door, 
I know if I looked sometimes, 
I'd discover you curling the floor

My dearest sweetest friend 
I can feel your pain from here, 
know if I had white wings 
you'd always have me near 

My heart is filling with tears 
the ones you've shed today, 
I'll hold them close forever 
until my last dying day

Your love, it held them dear 
it shone with exhaustion's eyes, 
you've done an impossible feat
its written there in the sky

Their love will keep you strong 
when the pain, eats at your core, 
and just when you think it's better 
grief will overcome you once more 

And when the darkest days 
start to hit you with a thud, 
don't worry my dear friend 
I'll be there, we're best buds 

So now, silence will be in our ways
until life's hands draw you back in, 
Yes, I'll sit with you and suffer 
even when the ices turns thin. 

---

And if the Gods made me chose
I'd say, Grief is the hardest pain, 
other than a comforting shoulder
nothing will ever seem the same.  

My best friend lost her husband last Christmas, the day before yesterday she lost her mum, 
This is just my way of letting her know she will never be alone. The suffering is nearly unbearable. 

For Carolyn from Jayne love you infinitly.
