I Do Not Know Poem by diana rose tolentino

I do not know how to comfort you
How to coax you and make you smile
I do not know how to stop your tears
Though seeing you weak is so hard to bear.

I can only stare and watch you from afar
Until your tears are all run dry
at your tear soaked eyes I could not stare
But it does not mean that I do not care

When you are hurt I keep my space
I cannot move, I am nailed to place
There is nothing I can do to take your pain
My own heart was also in chain.
