Useless

Feeling crushed and distraught
under the pressure of your grip
it hurts to be with you
yet too devastating to leave

Utterly useless
to the one I can't live without
it hurts to be with you
but it's worth every drop of blood

I want to help you
to be as happy as you make me
it hurts to be with you
because your tears are needles through my wrists

So many fake smiles
I can hardly tell the difference anymore
it hurts to be with you
when I can't make you happy

I'm letting go
setting you free
because it hurts you to be with me
so please find someone you'll love

Poem by awkward silence
