Pointless Child

On Half Way Home

You can see me when you want to

Pick me up yet leave me down

Like a child I'll follow wherever you walk to

I'll be there when you're around

And the feeling that you left

Could have broken my heart

But the minute that you left proved me wrong

And the moments that elapsed

Saw my happiness part

Should have realized back then that you were gone

I could have tried a little harder

I could have stayed right at your feet

I should have maybe been a little stronger

But as I write I can only spell 'weak'

The lifetime that has passed

In a matter of days

With the promises of never-ending love

Like a tourniquet applied

To my still beating heart

No words but your silence said enough

You think you got me where you want

You got me what I need to get me's sanity

You think you'll have me where you want

To have me what you need

Is therapy

Cease playing with my brain, drained

Taken from me, gained, games

Won't participate again

Can only try so hard

Can't contemplate how far

You're taking heart apart, we are

Thought I got it right this time

Mind made and I

Distorted life was blind

Sight of hind kind be nice

If I could find rhyme of reason

Little pointless child
