The Word

I want to find the Word--
the Word that will comfort you--
but it's not Real,
it doesn't exist,
and I am empty, but for words that fall,
flat and lame,
and shatter.

You despair, unrescued,
and I feel all the guilt and shame and fear,
as though it were my fault,
although that is untrue.

How do you do that?

Or is it I who make it so?
