Draining.

alissa

You send me down an abyss, endlessly attempting to grasp a ledge. 

Problems you cause for yourself push me further. 

I do not know how to stop your self-destructive rampage. 

Trying to talk some sense to you is arguing with a storm, 

the only response being a strike of lightning 

and an angry army of raindrops. To fill yourself, you drain me. 

A mop bucket used to clean your personal messes.

A welcome mat in which you wipe all of your issues onto.

    This emotion is very well articulated in your poem. Some people can't be saved from themselves, and often they try to take us down with their sinking ship. Good work.
