I sorrow for your sorrow— my hands cannot reach you, my words cannot fix it. I cannot shield you, or chase the dark away.
I sorrow for your sorrow. I break when you break— but I am not beside you. I can’t rescue the day. I can’t say I’m sorry in a language you’d understand.
Still— I sorrow for your sorrow. And in the stillness of my world, I make space for your grief.
In my heart, in my spirit, I hang a lantern. I shine what light I can from across the miles— and I sorrow with you, until the sorrow can end.
