How can you love me when I can’t love myself?
How can you
see so much inside me when
all I find
is emptiness?
How can you
continue to give me so much of yourself
when I have
nothing to give you in return?
How can you
keep supporting me when all I do is
keep pushing
you away?
How can you
hear my cries for help when they
are only
silent screams?
How can you
reach out to me when I can’t
reach in
to myself?
How can you offer hope when all I see is despair?
How can you know I will live when all I want is to die?
How can you love me when I hurt you so bad?
How can I
ever give back to you what you’ve given to me?
