i could never help you, 2015

i could never help you, 2015

A Poem by Ella Boyd
"

i've been exploring the emotions we feel late at night when we are temporarily alone

"

i could never help you, 2015

how did you allow me to grow so close

and intertwine in your skin like a weed climbing

up a cracked brick wall

while you knew all along you were going

to let that wall crumble

and leave me lying in the wreckage

of your absence

Again this is a very powerful use of metaphors to elaborate your feelings
