You can’t save me
Because you say
I will destroy you
You won’t try to
Because you say
I’m a slippery slope
My eyes wrap around my wrists again
Handcuffed to you; a prisoner again
Screams sharpen my every night
Crawling from hollow sentiments
Into your many complicated lies again
I will destroy you
If you won’t let me control you
I will hurt you
And then I will simply discard you
Tiptoeing to the edges of time again
Marching to the end of the line again
Blurring all the faces speaking
Their sounds and vowels and rhymes
Beating on all my insides once again
I’m a slippery slope
Waiting for you to climb
And when you think you’re safe
It will all crumble each and every time
I am clinging to the bottom again
To the porcelain white cold again
All the broken worn out phrases
Changing what I once thought fine
I’m scraping up my knees again
You won’t save me
Because you can’t
Because you can’t
Because you say
Only I can do that

To the people who are right for you, you are everything and always enough. For the wrong people, you never will be – and nor will they be for you. They will let you down and hurt you. The right people will do their utmost to NOT to.
Stick with the right ones, Sunset. The wrong ones will always harm us.
And they’re wrong. We all need to save each other. We’re designed for that.

It’s true. Only you can save you, but you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out your hand and I’ll be there to help lift you up.

Saving yourself and finding yourself are not the same thing, but in one you often find the other.

I think this is completely true. I wrote this for a few friends but I am in the process of finding myself having already saved myself.

I hope you can find the courage to get yourself out of what sounds like a controlling situation, an abusive relationship. Only you can save you. I know it’s scary sometimes, but there are so many other much “better” human beings that will appreciate and love you for who you are. You don’t need to change, you just need to get away from whoever it is that is doing this to you. You are worth it and you can make it without this other person. If you ever need to vent or want someone to talk to, I’ll be here. You are GOOD ENOUGH! I wish you the best on your journey. Take care of yourself, first! 🙂

Thank you so much. I actually wrote this from a place of empathy for a few others in my life. I agree with you completely and I hope they know that letting go and moving on is the only way forward.

Well, I’m glad it’s not you, but I’m sad for the people you are referring to. It is an excellent poem you wrote, though. It’s sad, but great writing. Have a great day and take care of yourself. x:)

The desire to be saved happens first within us before we can accept assistance no matter how much the other person loves us.
