Crutches


I support you when you're in pain. I am in an arm's reach when needed. I am there for you when you need me. I understand you're hurt. I understand your pain. But to you I am expendable. Because when the pain The agony The sadness Leaves you You leave me Because you don't need me Until the pain The agony The sadness Returns You'll come back to me Depend on me Because I support you when you're in pain.
