Heard a man’s solemn cry
I even saw his tears run dry
Then one day I met him on a street
I didn’t know how him do I treat
All the condolences sounded so small
Pain is known to the one who took the fall
So I gritted my teeth and balled my fist
Bowed my head and walked into the mist
How I wish I could have done something
Tried to have at least said something
All my concerns were a mere afterthought
In sight of what the pain to him had brought
Is this to be my fate for all time
To lose footing on empathy’s grime
Why can’t I just walk away
and let not these feelings hold me in sway
Usually I have so many words to share
So many ways to show my care
Yet in face of somebody’s pain
My words drowned in emotions rain
