The Cure

Feeling so powerless,
Against this unknown force
That takes my friends from me.

There must be something I can do.
But what?
What yields the yearn of blood,
Maybe even death?

They tell me to just be there for them,
But how can I when they never let me?
Being pushed farther away
With every hug I give,
Every word of comfort.

When words, hugs and love
Won’t heal any longer,
What can I do?

There must be a cure,
For those who suffer.
I hope we can find the antidote,
Before death overcomes us all.
