E.S.H.

You know what sucks?

The only one getting hurt here is me

Your daughter might miss me for a moment

but she has all the love and support

from a hundred different directions

She’ll be just fine

And you apparently never stopped

to think that I might be there

for some greater reason

than to be a pair of hands and eyes

It was never just about her

She was part of a package deal

I thought I was negotiating

but instead I get the consolation prize

of wasted time and effort

I’m the one that put my heart at risk

standing by your side as best I could

waiting for the right time

to mention how I felt

but I just get cold shouldered

because apparently I’m more trouble than I’m worth

I mean, I knew that going in

that I was just as worthless

as the last one

I just hope I could be useful for awhile

Be careful what you wish for, huh?

When did I become just scenery?

Don’t you remember when you opened up to me?

Nah, I bet you don’t

and it doesn’t really matter now

You broke your emotional support human

so just get another one
