Crutches

I support you when you're in pain.
I am in an arm's reach when needed.
I am there for you when you need me.
I understand you're hurt.
I understand your pain.
But to you I am expendable.
Because when the pain
The agony
The sadness
Leaves you
You leave me
Because you don't need me
Until the pain
The agony
The sadness
Returns
You'll come back to me
Depend on me
Because
I support you when you're in pain.
