Am I a burden to you?
All that comes with me?
I won't let you know
How much you mean to me.

I'm just so joyful
When you're around
Yet feel so sorrowful
A burden, I am bound.

I couldn't be a bother,
I love you too much
And, you have a lover
Probably long for her touch.

I won't get in the way,
I can promise you this.
Away from you, I will stay,
Isolated, unexposed to bliss.

~a poem by Elizabeth Kay on being a burden~
