Trying to Help

I feel so much for them
They can't understand.
I mourn with those that mourn.
And hope to comfort them.
But I can't do anything about it.
I feel powerless.

Traumas so different, I could not have
Ever thought about them.
Hearts so broken,
That the blowing wind seems
To put them back together
Better than they were.

I can't help.
And helping is all
I've ever wanted to do.

I have failed.
And failure was not an option.

I tried to lose faith,
But all I did was give myself more.
If everyone else can keep going
With destroyed lives
Why can't I go about my own,
Which it is perfect?

I do not deserve perfection.
I deserve to understand
The things I can't.
I can't bring myself
To break the bounds.

I look through photos Our life through the four seasons Back through the old ones.  Blossoming in spring With all the diverse flowers ...
