all i can say is

All I can say is
I am truly sorry
I know
that this must be
oh so painful
for you

but there is this
divide
this great wall
between us
that grows bigger by the day

I cannot
undo
the past
I cannot
right
the wrongs

all I can do
is be present
in the here and now
all I can do
is offer you
this shoulder to cry on
this hand to hold
this will to live
my strength to survive

all you have to do is ask
and I will be there for you
as I have always been

but you have to ask

(it is a small price to pay
for this friendship)
