The Image of Being In Need
The Image of Being In Need
My eyes are covered in gauze,
from dirt scratching
both of my corneas.
My boyfriend leads me around
otherwise I'd find myself on my
knees feeling the ground.
He takes care of me
and tends to my needs.
He accidently squirts
ear wax cleaner
into my eyes instead
of my prescribed
eye drops.
Oh the pain,
I thought would
drive me insane.
No apologies either!
He picks my clothes out
and helps me dress,
too close for my
comfort.
The humility found in
depending on another
for survival was not high.
So glad I'm looking
for a new guy now,
the image of me
depending on him
for a lifetime
is not a good one.
For he left me
feeling more like
a burden then
a friend in need,
to me that
makes him
a bad seed
for me.
