but my voice is weak

What would you say if you knew how I felt?
if you understood the pain and chaos that ensues when you aren't around
My words have been silently uttered
for I am not bold in my voice,
you have claimed a listening ear
but perhaps you are too deaf.
your senses are not keen to pain
as you have never felt it.
Your refining process comes later,
so you do not understand mine right now.
I will be there
I will follow you and comfort you in any way.
The roads we walk are separate,
but I will still try my best to reach out to you
because that is what I need right now.
I will not claim to fully understand
or just sit and listen to your struggles.
but I will encourage and I will ask you to look to God
Reminding you of His love and plan
for I have surely felt it.
But I request that you not give me your surface-level advice
or claim to know when you don't.
There is nothing that hurts more.
some day you will understand my reluctance in sharing
when you are in the same position.
But I hope to be available to you even when you have been absent for me.
But my voice is weak and your ear is not yet strong.
Your voice will be weak, but hopefully my ear will be strong.
