Truth Be Told

I watched you break down today. I sat there- Listening. With no words to say. I wanted to express The sympathy I felt for you, my love, But I couldn't find the words to address. I wanted to cry. To hold you- Convince you it'll be ok. But, I couldn't bring myself to lie. Not to that tear-drenched face. Not to that broken heart. Not to that bereaved soul. So there I sat. Frozen in time. Frozen in place.
