Helpless

There is nothing worse than watching your love one hurting.

It is especially bad when there is nothing we can do.

We can only offer words of encouragement with the hope that they will feel better.

It normally doesn’t work.

We can only watch as they cry in dismay, seethe in anger or just go eerily quiet in disappointment.

We can only hope that they snap out of it fast.

We can only pray that they move on swiftly.

But until then, we feel helpless.

A helplessness that eats at your soul, wishing for super powers like time travel, mind control or whatever that can make things better.

I do not wish this on anyone….. even my worse enemies.
