One Less to Worry About

By GraySky

I can see you,
Through the screen
And around the corner.
You, in your beautiful house
With kisses of cruelty.
Don't you understand
What's best for you?
Take their sharp edges
To your wrists,
Hanging over the shower,
The only place
To wash it all away.
Scream about the pain you caused yourself,
Without doing a thing to help it.
Why do you curse those who would love you,
When you say it's all you want?
Cry out for sympathy,
You scorn all I have to give.
You're right...
I'll never understand you.
