Nobody Cares But We Poem by Sandra Hillawi

There are no words for the misery that has befallen me

There is so solace for the loss I most fear

How long I have held fast to that life line

Through so many stormy winters and even rare summer days


I cannot let go of the one I am holding without my heart breaking

And my innards being ripped from me so cruelly and violently

And nobody cares but we

As the one most beloved is tossed by the ocean's waves

Vulnerable heart and spirit weak

He had no one to care only me


My power gone I must bear the pain of my love's anguish and despair

Oh my God source of all power and might, all love and compassion

Carry my love until he finds his way

Comfort him in his loneliness until he finds his strength

Carry me until I can dare to feel again

For this pain of loss is too much to bear


Can I find the faith that surrender release and hope

Will bring back my love to me

Can I discover within the love the peace that must blossom again

To let me find my way back to him

Til then I weep and wail in this pain of being torn

From the one I hold most dear in life

Dearer than my own life

We are each tossed at sea

And nobody cares but we
