Maybe it's just human nature....
But when we try to help others, we also get shut out.
We feel as if we are powerless, and we can do nothing. Nothing except wait by their side until they feel it is ok to come out of their isolation.
Maybe then....maybe they might let us in a little......Maybe they'll let us chip away at the ice that surrounds their heart, and then.....maybe we'll find the answers to the questions biting away at us.
Maybe we'll get lucky, and someday, all our feelings, our thoughts, and even our sorrow will become clear to everyone.
Then, maybe....everyone will feel a little better.
Someday all our fears will come true, but what we fear most......is what we won't find.
What we as humans won't be willing to do.
Maybe then, we'd be willing to open our hearts to the ones we love.
