MoonSlater in Poetry & Free Verse

I Can’t

I can’t tell you that I know what you’re going through

I can’t tell you that I will always have the right words

I can’t tell you that I’ll always be there when you need me

I can’t tell you that I’ll be there for all your precious moments

Because to be honest

We all fall short

in the long run

But what I can tell you is

that even when I can’t form the right words

Or I can’t be there when you need a shoulder

I will always try

I will always makeup for lost words

For lost moments

Because what’s life without making up for absence in the lives of those you love.
