I understand
yet I don't
you cry
I hurt
to know that you cry and I can not hold you
or stop your tears
your pain
your sadness
I try to see
I try to feel
the emotions you show to me
but I try in vain
for I will never completely understand
but I try
that's all I can offer
I hope it's enough
for it hurts me to know
you're not happy
that I can't comfort you
so I try.
