Just a shoulder to cry on.
You told them that they could use you as a shoulder to cry on.

You allowed them to use you as a source of comfort and support when needed.

You permitted them to use you as a comfort when they are feeling down.

You let them know you were available to lean on in times of emotional turmoil.

You reminded them that they could use you as a comfort blanket when feeling depressed.

But...

When were you going to allow yourself to use a shoulder to cry on?

When were you going to use a source of comfort and support when you needed?

When were you going to permit comfort when you felt down?

When were you going to lean on someone in times of emotional turmoil?

When were you going to use someone as a blanket when you felt depressed?

When will you be able to cry in someone else’s shoulder?

When will you feel the comfort you always so willingly offered?

When will you finally give in to the desire for comfort and support?

When will you feel the shoulder you let others cry on without protest?

When will you finally find the peace of letting yourself self be comforted?

When were you going to use someone like you was used?

Your shoulder held so many tears, yet when you cried, no one was there.

You needed comfort too, why was there so much to do,
but still when you felt lost, no one knew.

Why were you just a shoulder to cry on? Why wasn't I ever a reason to try on?

Why weren't you ever worth a hug? Why couldn't you ever feel love?

You did so much,
Yet nothing in return,
You gave and gave.

Why were you not cared for? Why weren't you treated nice? Why was no one there?

How come you could be there for others,
But you weren't deserving of it yourself?

How come no one knew when you were hurting or sad and in despair?

Did you give up too much of myself, Just to be abandoned in the end?

Why were you just a shoulder for them to cry on, yet you were never someone they loved?

You poured your heart into them,
Yet they had no one left to care for you.

You was left with nothing but love to be poured,
And no one left to give it to.

They took and took from you,
And in the end, I'm not sure if you had anything left.

If only you could find someone to love you back,
But it all feels so hopeless now.

But it's okay,
Isn't it?
In the end...
You were just a shoulder to cry on.

Nothing more.
