Helpless

It's not just your body.

By Emily PiercePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

What a helpless creature

That you may kill,

That you may scorn,

That you may hate

What a helpless spirit

That relies on you,

That trusts you,

That loves you

What a helpless heartbeat

That needs your warmth,

That craves your tender devotion,

That knows only the sound of your heart thumping along with theirs

What a helpless life

That has no voice,

That has no free will,

That has only you and nothing more

What a helpless body

That you may break,

That you may crush,

That you don’t care is fragile

What a helpless child

That you may kill

Simply because of your selfishness
