Sometimes I can't help but carry on the burden.
Because it's just so heavy sometimes. Life is just so unfairly hard on them sometimes. And I can't help but allow them to unload. It's what I'm here for anyway. It's what friends are for. I am here for you, I will be here tomorrow. Let me in. I will carry you when you are too weak to stand.
Sometimes it's guilt. Not all the time. But admittedly sometimes.
Because it's just so huge that the blame can't be placed on their shoulders. And I can't help but feel...kind of responsible. I should have seen it coming. I did see it coming, and I didn't try to prevent it.
It's selfish. I know.
But the burden is not yours to bear. Friends should be able to confide in you, because yes, that is what friends are for. But they don't do it to make you shoulder something more. It just doesn't work like that. I don't think that burdens can be eased quite so easily like that.
ReplyDeleteBut it helps to have a friend around.
If only you would let us give you the same courtesy.
:P
Granted. This is probably another cryptic post that readers-of-the-intarwebz are not meant to fully understand! :P
