Analysis of worth
i listen not because i have to.
nor is it because i adore you.
you need someone to hear you.
despite what you say, you crave it.
you scream but others seem deaf.
you reach out for a shoulder to cry on.
there's an empty darkness you're stuck in—
are you really stuck if you don't mind it?
thing is, you deserve more.
pain does not become you.
neither do the tears you try to hide.
i see them.
i see you.
you don't have to settle.
you are better than this.
i hear your silent pleas.
let me be your guide.
just so you can see the light,
even if it will be the last time.
let me continue adoring you.
open your eyes, look at me.
you are worthy of it all.
