Correct Me If I Am Wrong

I am to stop my own progress.
To aid you in the taking of your steps.
And when you have elected,
To achieve what it is you need...
You will leave,
To proceed in another direction?
With the taking away from me,
My energy?
With a doing done that leaves,
Me with a lesser energy?

Who is going to assist,
With the replenishing of my needs?
You?
Or am I left to do that on my own?

Correct me if I am wrong.
Will you or will you not...
Take from me,
Only to have it dawn on me...
You have no interest in my needs.
And you have gone.

Correct me if I am wrong.
I've already learned those lessons.
