I didn't have words to offer you...
How unusual.

I was struck by your calamity
dumbfounded, all I could do was hug you.

I didn't want to let you go
you needed someone so,
and I was groping for
all the things I wanted you to know.

You didn't deserve what you got,
that detrimental blow.

It should have been more tactful,
conveyed with dignity and grace.

Rather, it came as a slap in the face.
All I could offer was a hug
when you needed words to displace,
all that surrounded you,
all the unfortunate disgrace.

You advocated me all the way through
I groped for words to give back to you.

But all that came out
was a sob and a hug

I hope I conveyed with silence,
I hope that was enough.
