Just a thought

I was by your side, wiped your tears, dried your eyes

Held your shaking hands and bloody wrists

Gave your sullen face another kiss

The pain sometimes is hard to resist

Looking for meaning where none exists

But you can't see past your balled up fist...

To what lies ahead from what you've missed.

Very well written and quite insightful. This actually reminds me that I sometimes spend way to much time focusing on my past and not enough time looking at my future. Switching perspective now, it's quite reminiscent of the pain of being there for someone through all of their problems, and them still being blind to what's in front of them because they're looking somewhere else. I think this is often the result a communication error that causes misunderstanding, though that isn't always the case.
Anyway, I like the poem and I hope that your doofus will learn to open his (or her, if that applies) eyes.

Wow. Very powerful. At first, I thought you were talking about a child, but then, it appears obvious that this was a relationship situation that ended very badly.
Very well done.

Thank you for reading. It's actually an old poem from a while back but it was about a crumbling bridge that I was refusing to burn. Its the frustration of trying to be there for someone while they slip back into their own self destruction.

Many of us have been there. Its a hard line to walk. Some simply cant be helped even by those who want to do whatever they can.

I love the rhyme scheme and the profound insight you wrote...it's one of those things that once you realize, it's a little too late. Nicely done, Malerie.

Kindness is for the birds. Just enchanted.
