Sitting Beside You

I would cry for you,
But it wouldn’t mean much.
I’d make it rain,
But rain is only water.
You’re down,
You’re out,
And I’m…
Powerless to help.
Powerless to change the world.
Powerless to take your hurt.
So I’ll just sit by you for a while,
Lie down beside you for a while.
You’re just a kitten
Without a home
No name
And nowhere to go.
You could cry too,
But tears wouldn’t mean much.
Try and make it rain,
But rain is only water.
And I’m not God,
So I’ll lay by you for a little while
And tell you it will be okay…
For a little while.
