Never Ending Rainbow


I can hear his heart
Breaking in his voice
The pain so clear
So strong as he speaks
I want to offer him shelter
Hide him from agony
But I don’t know how
I take his hand..
I hold him close
My own heart calling to him
Wanting to heal the unmasked
Emotion of ache he lays out
In hope of banishing

I try to find the words
To offer some kind of solace
A meager attempt to chase
Away the demons calling
His tattered soul home
My mind yells at fate
Pondering why this gentle
And so loving soul must
Live with such turmoil
No answers come
Just the sound of his pain
Echoing through my heart

I try to make him smile
Try to make him laugh
Hoping him a moment peace
But even through the smile
I can sense the pain
Knowing his soul is
Not feeling the laughter
He thanks me saying
He’s grateful for my words
As I tell him there is no need
To offer me thanks
I only wish that I could
Chase away the storm
And give him the beauty
Of a never ending rainbow
That he so deserves

It is never easy when we want to do so much for the ones we love but are not able to.  Sometimes that greatest gift of love is knowing when to just let things be and KNOW that in the long run it all pays off through the love you show in patience and support.  Excellent read my friend.

The heart knows what the mind cannot understand. . .

Sometimes, there are no words. . . only feelings. . . the touch of a hand, the warmth of an embrace. . . they say more than any words. . .

Wonderful my friend. . .

There is such beauty, hope and pain in your words.  You are so devoted to him.  It's amazing how when you care about and love someone so much their pain can somehow touch you so deeply as if their heart is yours.  You expressed this eloquently!  ~Hugs~  I hope that soon life will hand him that deserved never ending rainbow and with it I hope that he sees the beautiful colours of you, the rose!  

Take care,

RosePetals~
Sincerity just reaches out and blankets those we care about ...
We feel it isn't enough, but they feel it's just right.

Wonderful reaching out of you ...

Once upon a time there was a light in my life, now theres only love in the dark, There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.

I know the feeling well. But I like the way you've done it

There are enough colours in the world,
To paint your own dreams,
You won't get them,

I wish the rainbow always held the message of peace but sometimes it holds a message of turmoil....thankfully, you hold the former..
