You were there for me (my comfort through the pain)

Folder: 
2004

you hold me in your arms, you hold me tight

but it still hurts and smiles are far out of sight

you tell me that you are sorry and I tell you that it is all right

you feel bad and you feel helpless as I struggle with all my might

you do not think your helping because despite what you are doing I still hurt like hell

but the truth is by holding me you help me get through and keep me from a crying spell



I squeeze and cling to you when the pain gets worse time and time again

you hold me tighter and closer to you as we both wait for it to end

when I softly cry out in extreme pain you softly cry out too

I feel bad for you because I know you don't know what else to do

I know that you feel bad and I wish I could make you feel better

because it helps me just to know your there and that we are together



you told me that I was safe and that you were there for me

I was so comforted even though I was in as much pain as could be

you told me that you would take the pain if you could and I knew that it was true

I weakly smiled as much as I could at the complete selfless genuine kindness of you

I didn't cry at the agony because you were here holding me tight

although many times when the pain was too much I really thought I might



I clung to you so tightly as pain flooded through my back

and you never left my side, you gave me all the strength I lack

in your arms I felt such comfort that I can not even explain

nothing could defeat that comfort no matter how much the pain

I turned to you and softly said thank you so much for holding me

and you looked into my eyes and said, "your welcome anytime" so gently

and I knew that I wasn't the only one feeling pain for I could see

that every moment I was suffering that you were suffering with me
