I Don’t Know

I am a background character in my own life, just waiting for a moment of my own

Tell me what you need, and I will get it done

Are you upset? Hurt? In need?

Tell me

I will buy you lunch, I will drive you wherever, I will watch as you shine, the star of your own life, and fly away from here

You will not take me with you, even though you say you will

I will be left behind, as I was always meant to be

Tell me what you need

Take every favor I have ever done, everything I have ever tried to become and throw it away for me

Tell me what you need

Can I help you stop hurting? Can I help you?

Because that is my purpose, that is all I know

I only know how to fade away, unknown, alone

And finally, just

Disappear

And when I am no longer needed by you, then I cease to exist

Because isn’t that what I’m here for?
