When There Aren't Words [Poetry]

Is there something I'm supposed to say?
Its at the tip of my tongue, but the words taste all wrong.
How I wish I knew what phrase would freeze your pain.
Instead, I can only sit beside you, try to steal your sadness,
Stitch your sullen stretched lips into a smile
And remind you
Even without words, I know,
I feel it too.
I'm right beside you.
