Magic Bandage Please

I think sometimes the hardest thing is watching people you care so much about in pain. You can say as many comforting, uplifting, motivational, or empowering things and still you can see the tears fill their eyes.

Hurt, anger, betrayal, insecurity, heartbreak...

Sometimes I wish I could just erase their pain for them. Sometimes I wish I could just lighten the load for them. It is such a sad thing that people can treat each other with such disregard... as if people are disposable and utterly replaceable.

I know the best thing you can do is listen. Just being their and letting them know their not alone helps greatly. But even through all that, some people are just not strong enough. And those are the moments when I wish, even if just for a day, a week, I could take their pain for them... as if I could be strong for them.

It's hard to see people you love broken. I wish I had a magic bandage that fixed them right up. I wish I could promise it will get better soon. But it wont. Time will heal it. I hope it doesn't take too much time.
