Thankless Love
Every single day I am with you…
Every… single... day... I am with you!
Overlooked
Disregarded
Do you realize what I even do for you?!
Every single day I work so hard so you can do your job
Never a mention of gratitude
I fight all day long just to keep it together
Tormented by the pressure that you put on me, day in and day out!
Every single day… I am in pain
I ache and I am exhausted
Yet I keep doing it, FOR YOU!
I don’t know how much more I can take…
The pressure is unbearable
It is not a threat and it is not because I don’t want to continue
You keep adding to the strain and pressure
And I am barely keeping it together as is
One of these days, I am going to pop
And everything will bust wiiiiiiiide open
Leaving you completely exposed!
I won’t always be there for you
But I love you, always and forever.
Sincerely,
The Button on your pants
