Leave
It joys me to see
Happiness shine on your face
As a reflection of your heart.
But currently, it is not so.
There is occasionally a smile -
But it is only the physical part of you
That is being forced to smile,
Nothing more.
Each time I come to you to help
And every time I fail to find anything right to say,
Often I do just say nothing,
And it frustrates me that I cannot find any way to console you,
But then other times
I do say something,
And it triggers a reaction in you of revulsion,
I say something that makes you reject
Any comfort I could possibly give you.
You simply walk away...
You leave me alone,
Having not changed in heart at all -
All I have done
Is alienate you even more from myself,
Nothing more.
