Love Poem: Let Down

Let Down

Before I mean it to happen,
 my helpful words
turn into a battle.

You and the world on your side,
me on the other.
Hey, aren’t we supposed to love each other?

Everything I say flies over your head.
It’s one ear out the other.
While tears drip down my cheeks.

Bitter tears because I know it’s my fault.

It is my fault for sticking my head into your business.
Not to mention embarrassing you all the time with my breakdowns. 
I wish I could stop them from happening.

But I can’t.
I just can’t.
I’m always such a let down.
