If I Could

If I could grow wings

And carry you away

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Erase the pain

If I could hold you forever

Embed the warmth of a cup of tea

Into the depths of your soul

If I could provide the perfect words

To soothe your ears

If I could make you feel

The raw heartache

The crippling pain

So you can get back to

“Normal” again

If I could make time fly past

To show you this suffering doesn’t last

If I could help at all

I wouldn’t feel so powerless
