The pain I feel is not my own

least the pain that hurts the most

For it belongs to another

and it hurts more with every post

 

I see his pain in black and white

and feel it in my soul

Not allowed to help him through it

denied his hand to hold

 

And while I'm sat here hurting

searching for what to say

I would gladly triple what I feel

if it took his pain away
