Life Sucks Sometimes

I am at a loss for words

Searching for something to say

I scramble

Phrases sit on my tongue

But refuse to leave

Because really

What is there to say?

How do you comfort someone when you cannot say

It will be okay?

Because they are dying

Not years from now

But right now

Days weeks a month at best

And I'm angry

Why you?

Why now?

But I cannot ask these things

I cannot say anything

Except for a pathetic

I'm sorry

I'm fucking sorry?

Really?

All the words in this universe and that is all that comes to mind?

But then again I was unprepared

It wasn't like I sat myself down

And thought of what i would say

Why would I?

I'm not so old as to think it would happen

But then again I'm old enough to know it could

So I'm sorry

Because I don't think there are any other words to use

Except maybe

I love you

I'll miss you

And of course

A few select swears to God

Followed abruptly by

Let's get wasted

Because what the hell

You're dying anyway
