when someone hurts

when someone is in pain,
you want to help,
you want to say the right things.
take a hot bath,
relax.
have a drink.
do nothing. do heat, do ice.
just lie back
and read.
you throw darts at a moving
board,
none hitting.
they just want the pain to end.
and so do you.
you want to mother the person,
to be gentle
and caring, empathetic,
you want to kiss it and make
it feel better.
