Leaving me empty, in a sorrowful place,
my heart ached and seared,
Who knows what the future holds in store,
Each passing year, I feel more and more sore.

I fear getting close, for they all seem to leave,
Abandoned and lonely, I can't help but grieve.
I wish to forget, but memories linger on,
The ones that hurt, like a needle withdrawn.

I long to move on, but the pain remains,
A constant reminder of my heart's deep stains.
I feel like a burden, a weight on their chest,
My presence a struggle, a never-ending test.

My family, I'm sure, would be better without me,
Happier,...
