Helpless
|
You break my heart—
You are so sad,
So sad and alone.
I would hold you, comfort you,
But that would do neither of us any good.
If only you could see yourself through my eyes. . .
Why is it that the gifted are plagued with doubt
While those who boast have so little reason for it?
You are so haunted,
So insecure,
So talented,
So beautiful,
So alone.
You search creation,
Yet still there is found no suitable companion for you.
You are unfortunately drawn to myopic fools
Who cannot see how wonderful you are,
Who only add to your sadness,
Who break your heart—
And mine, too.
I wish you could find someone,
Find happiness.
It must be the oldest story,
To be attracted to one who doesn't reciprocate—
Yet I can understand,
For you break my heart.

Someone
I'd hoped I'd be spared this
