About the Poem

This poem reflects feelings towards either a friend or a lover. When someone you care about is hurting, there's often no appropriate words to say. I have found in my experiences, that just letting them know that you are there for them is often enough . . . Love Poems

By Your Side
by Ruwaida Van Doorsen
It hurts to know you’re hurting
Because you’re so special in my heart
The pain that you are feeling
Is tearing me apart

But know that love has a way
Of easing all that’s wrong
Together we can make it
If we hold on and just be strong

Know that you’re not alone
In all your adversity
For by your side through and through
Is where I’ll always be
