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!
