You do not
understand what
you are doing to me

You'll never understand hat
after you call-
I cry

I WANT to help you
I can't

In your own way
you beat me up

ou know how much
I LOVE you
But I cannot help

You can come home
I cannot go there
and yes,
you miss me

But I have not seen you
in over a year
that hurts

I have tried
I have failed
BADLY

I cannot save you
I would if I could
you ask for the
impossible

...and IF I'm sick?

then what?

Who will be your
"Person"?

I LOVE you...

MORE

But I need
to save you

From the one
person

Who really hurts you

....YOU

It's a deep cut when those we love disallow us the opportunity to help and show we care. What is it that makes them toss up roadblocks to our love for them...I've had wide avenues that now boast permanent "ROAD CLOSED" signs. But it even runs deeper than that. I relate to this poem all too well. Chin up, it's their loss...yet they seem happy to let us feel our loss and theirs too. Thanks.
