I can only watch you suffer,
Not knowing what help I can offer.
I am unable to look away,
But I don't know what to do or say.
I hate seeing the hell you're going through,
Not knowing how to help you.
Sometimes you don't know what's going on,
And it leaves me crying for so long.
I have to watch you slowly die,
Living with the guilt that I can only cry.
I see you reaching out for help,
But I don't know how to get you out of this hell.
I can't believe you might be gone tomorrow,
And all I can do is feel this sorrow.
I wish I could make you smile,
Even if it was only for a little while.
I wish I could take away all your pain,
Just to make you happy again.
You always seem so cold and distant,
I wish I could bring you closer in an instant.
I know this isn't your fault,
I just wish I could bring your pain to a halt.
Not knowing what to do or say,
Just makes me feel more useless each day.

I think you've done a great job capturing the helplessness so many of us have felt when our loved ones were suffering from something we couldn't cure for them. It's a terrible feeling but you've expressed it well. >pixxie<

you were the daughter who helped the most the others had blood of hers in their veins yet you showed so much emotion and were very luving to her
