Hello.
I wrote the poem below in college. I hope you enjoy it.
Useless
Teardrops
On sunburned cheeks
Roll down to blistered lips
And I sit
Quiet
Watching you.
If I had a way to ease your breaking heart,
I would.
But I don't.
I'm so useless.
Sunshine
On gentle skin
Betrays an aching fist
And I sit
Quiet
Watching you.
If I had a way to ease your breaking heart,
I would.
But I don't.
I'm so useless.
It's a really nice poem. But I'm more curious about the reason behind it. Why "Useless". Don't you think its a really strong word?Thanks for sharing tho.
That might be a useless question! ;)
Thank you, @ctrixx. The speaker is useless in the sense that what he/she wants to do is soothe the object of his affection -- but can't. At least, that was the sentiment I hoped to capture...!
@captaintj good to hear from you again!
Thanks for the response @vdux
Love the words
Thank you!
