Being there for someone

The world was still

At least for her

And I watched her eyes

Black holes

With nothing inside

My throat felt dry

And my face stiff

I wanted to say something

But

there were no words left

So I sat there

And held her hand

I was there

When she wasn't even

There herself

Then I knew

All I had to do

Was remind her

That I wasn't going

To leave her too
