Standstill

I wanted to go and help
Try and ease the pain
Talk about the good old days
Make him smile again

He stretched out his hand
I wanted to reach out too
Tell him I'll always be there
Say something I've always wanted to

A glance and he was gone
And there was no one by my side
I wanted to cry out loud
A barren vast deep inside

But I just stood there.
