Description
I found you on the shores of your own miseryYou wept and suffered alone
I came to you, drawn by your tears
I offered my hand to you
I offered my bosom for your head
Offered my own back to help you carry your burden
I spoke sweetly to you, giving words of comfort
Your painful gaze met mine
You lifted a hand and struck me
I retreated from you, unsure of it all
I had done nothing to offend
I saw your pain and I wanted to help
I saw your tears and wanted them to stop
My heart ached as your heart aches
We are siblings in despair
You refused to see it as I
You were offended by my aid
I desired to take nothing from you
As I ask questions, you reply with silence
Your eyes remain cold, staring
I feel lost in my own hopelessness
My own confusion over these actions
I left you there, on the shores of your own misery
Knowing that a man's misery,
Is often his only joy.

yes it does suggest misery-the misery of living .all the pain that life gives you without answers "As I ask questions, you reply with silence"
nice piece

Thank you! I did hope that the message would come across. It also suggests the misery that people feel and refuse to be helped out of it.

*lol* Thank you for the on this.
It was a lesson that I learned a long time ago, but I seem to keep forgetting. We always have that one person that we know who is constantly miserable and suffering, yet, even if there is a clear answer right in front of them that will make their lives better, they'd rather suffer. Be it out of attention, masochism, or what have you.
It takes a while to see them, but once you have, it's harder not to get sucked into their misery and taken down.

my pleasure hun! it struck a resonating chord in me . . . and it's something I'll enjoy reading often! especially after talking to either of my sisters . . . *sigh* not sure what their excuses are, but they are suffering much more deeply and intensely than anyone else ever has, and always are. it just tears at me after a while . . . sucks me dry. and so hard to escape because they are blood . . .

Ugh! I know what you mean! Sometimes I wonder if these people aren't just latent psychic vampires and are doing it involuntarily to feed off of us.

Well, I can't speak for everyone else but I meant the kind that involves lots of tounge, lips, prodding with certian objects, various bodily fluids, ten small strips of duct tape and a nine volt battery. What kind of fawning did you think I meant?
