"Your Shoes"

Pondering this situation over and over in my heart and I’m scared,
Can’t understand and can’t stress enough how I wish I was there,
I can’t help you and can’t be the reason while you’ll smile again,
I know that the world seems like its against you, and the pain remain,
Can’t relate to your terrified eyes and can’t step the miles of your shoes,
This disease is hurting you but its hurting me more that I can’t help, too
I know its just terrible that you’re suffering and feel all alone by yourself,
I know if I can say a few words to make you smile, you know I’ve tried,
When I try make you laugh at bad times, I know the sadness is hard to hide,
Because if I could walk in your shoes, I would so you won’t be alone,
I’ll lace the boots and rather feel your pain because its something I don’t condone,
So I would love to try to wear it, and see if our life together seem to fit,
Because I feel like I’m watching Cinderella before her times up, and reality hit,
Whether you are in high times or rock bottom, you are wonderfully beautiful,
While I know you feel like life isn’t worth living of many times that are pitiful,
I can’t hold you in my arms and whisper “God bless you for coming this far”,
“Please don’t give up” but I know that its harder than it may seem,
How you wake up in the morning and Pray 2 God that its all a bad dream,
You know if I could wear your shoes I would wear them proud,
Because I admire how you still breathe and fight, the volume is loud,
And the volume is clear, and I hope my message reaches your soul,
I know I can’t make the pain go away and I know that its all out of control,
The distance is there, and the pressure to make it alive is so hard to bear,
I know I don’t feel your pain, and I can’t fathom it, but my heart is aware,
And I’m alarmed that one day you might not come back with the sweet hello‘s,
But I Pray 2 God for you, and hope heaven welcomes you with angels wings and halos,
Meanwhile I want to cherish and treasure your smiles and your friendship,
I know I’ve pushed you away but just know my heart, the love ends with it,
Please understand that from the bottom of my Concern heart I really do care,
I know my words won’t make the pain go away, and I know sympathy isn’t fair,
But I’m pondering again, the situation is something that its hard to deal with,
So when you read my heart then you know that I hope you really feel this,
That’s our friendship, beyond anything, no one can take that, not even Death,
Now it might sound like I’m inconsiderate, but my heart is all I have left,
To show you that you have a friend, and that I want you to know the truth,
Just know that I want to walk along the side of you, and admire your shoes,
