Looking At You

I’m looking at you,
Your eyes are all red,
Your face is soaked with tears.
And all I want to do
Is reach out and hug you.
Comfort you in any way, shape, or form.
But just as I make my move
To hold you, make you feel better
The scene changes, fast-forwards.
And I can’t stop it.

I’m looking at you,
Your eyes are closed
Your face is calm, peaceful.
And all I want to do
Is reach out and hug you.
Touch you in any way, shape, or form.
But there are people behind me
Waiting to see you lying in your casket.
I’m pushed forward, tears coating my face.
And I can’t stop it.
