Helpless gnawing at your insides, I'm powerless.  I'm sorry I can't help you cope.  Your strength and courage are an inspiration.  In the face if adversity you stand strong.  I can't stand to see you suffer in silence,   Can't watch as you slowly slip away.  I barely recognise your vision before me,   A frail silhouette of what used to be.  In the face of adversity, I wait slowly at your side,   So make this suffering end.
