the nice guy

they see you coming.
they
see and feel your heart.
your empath
side.
they can tell you're
a nice guy.
you're safe. honest.
responsible.
you'll do anything
to help save them
from their life of bad
decisions.
you want to help them
make the countless
mistakes they've made,
and continue to make,
right.
they have you from
the start.
you're a knight
in shining
armor. a godsend.
an island of calm
in their perpetual storm.
a savior who will
right their sinking ship,
and off you go, lost
now in the quicksand,
the emotional
turmoil
that will sadly be
your new exhausting
life.
