when i gave them all my love
when i gave them my attention
they ignored methe nights i cried
the nights i was sentimental
they ignored mewhen i spoke my mind
when i spoke my heart
they ignored meseeking guidance
but guidance there is not
a figure to follow
a figure to swallow the water
of which comes my emotions
my fears and my tearsthe weight of my world
which you must endure
the weight of the weeping worldmy slim scrawny shoulders
that could not bear the pressure
severed from the sockets
that held me to togetheri'm alone and i can't move
as such a worm is to a bird;
helpless.
