you seduce me with your despair
the black clouds you carry within
feeds my happy heart with power
even as you descend into the tide
you have given me my particulars
when your anguish looks for hard
handles to hang onto hasten your
depths to which you will love me
reaching for light shinning bright
to lead you through muck & mire
even as the deep lake engulfs you
there is a light and it shines bright
reach out your hands and grab me
I'm here, we can fight this together
let me soothe your furrowed brow
reach out for me and I will be here
I'm here for you no matter the cost

There's nothing in life as painful as having to watch someone you love suffer.  Believe me, I know.  I know you would probably trade places to take her suffering on yourself in a heartbeat...  lifes to jaded to let us do that unfortunately.  I hope she clasps your hand and finds it eases the burden somewhat even so.

She is a lucky lady to have someone like you willing to be there thru the good and the bad.

That's really all we can promise someone we love... we can't take away pain and suffering but we can be there, aching for them and holding on.

This is very touching... wonderful write!
