save yourself

despite what you may think,

you do bring me happiness

but I was born an unhappy human

and I do not blame you

if that makes you want to leave me

you will tire of lifting me up

and holding me when I cry too often

you will grow bored of seeing me

with tears in my eyes and shaky hands

breakdown after breakdown

you will find yourself wanting to breakaway, so don't be afraid to do so

because I am afraid

I will be sad for a

long,

long

time.

 

-a.f.
