Powerless |
| by Angel |
I am powerless in your arms,
unable to think,
unable to move,
not wanting to breath
for fear that you will notice my presence
or suddenly become annoyed by it.
So I watch my footing carefully
when I step near you,
so as not to disturb you
and your quiet thoughts.
When I cry
I make sure I do it quietly,
so I won't wake you
from your well deserved sleep.
When I have a problem
I hold it in and listen,
because I know that you need
someone to listen to yours.
When you need me
I am always by your side,
to care for you
and dress your wounds.
I have offered you all of me
and yet I sit idly by,
waiting for you to give something back,
to do anything that will show
that you love me in return.
Some say
the greatest pain in life is to be ignored.
Now I know
that the greatest pain in life
is to love.
