I am a body.
I have two shoulders, for you to cry on...
I have two arms, in which to embrace you with...
I have two ears, to listen with whe nthe need arises...
I am your friend and stand besides you always...
But what you fail to remember is that I myself
am human, a person, a body.
I have a mouth, to ask you for help when its rarely need...
I have a heart, that allows me to feel a deep love for you now
and a great pain, when you use my love and break it to bits...
I am a human, a person, a body...
It is not that hard to grasp...
I love being there for you,
but you get twice as much help in doing so.
Two shoulders, two arms, two ears...all for you, and I give my all for you.
And I am left alone, one mouth and one heart...
You forget that I am a full body...
I cannot be but the one part that you want me to be.
I am two arms, two shoulders, one mouth, two eyes, two ears...
But the most important is my heart...
My heart needs the attention,
My heart needs the love,
My heart needs you to understand-
I am a body.
I am not the part I want you to be and nothing else.
My heart yearns for something more...
Can you feel its beating?

Description:
A poem I wrote shortly after an issue with a friend. I love the metaphor of the body parts representing different ways to help people.
Please ANY criticism is helpful. Thank you for reading it! :heart: - Date: 03/30/2009

- I wasn't sure if it was a poetry or simply a prose.
