Poem: Removing The Pain

The pain spreads through your body
Like a drink spilled onto a tablecloth
Your body soaking it up and taking it all in
I wish I could stop it
Fight it for you
Take your pain
Stop your hurting
If I could I would trade places with you
Despite your pleadings not to
Knowing that I am not able to
Willing to give you anything I can to make your days brighter
Because if you smile I smile
If you laugh I laugh
Making you happy is my mission in life
Not going anywhere
Don't give up on yourself or on me
I am not running away
Here to hold you in my arms
Taking you to another place far far away from sickness and pain
