Woman

I want to say I am okay

But no one is asking

I want to tell him about my day

But he didn't even bother to say "Hello" to me

I want to everyday show my love

And yet everyday he wants us to split up

I couldn't leave because I love him

I couldn't leave because I know he needs me

He can't pay for all the rent and other bills

He needs me 

And so I can stay

I can stay and prove how much I am in love

Everyday, everynight

I have to always wait for him

I cook and clean the house for him

While he watches movies and play games

He sleeps first, I wake first

I have to leave early for work for I have to walk

But he is fine

He has a motorcycle so he can wake up later than me

And no, he won't drive me to work

I paid for the motorcycle but I can't ask him to bring me to work

Or he'll kill me

Cos he will get tired

And I must not make him tired

And so, when I have my pay I help him buy what he wants

Me? Nah I can't buy any

Cos I have to buy food and pay bills

So he can by gadgets and upgrade his computer

Me? Nah I'm okay

I want to say I am okay

But no one is asking

Never give up...giving up is giving in...if that were the case i'd have stopped meandering about gary busey fiction years ago!!!

I don't know. I believe this person need a wake-up call. In your words, I felt the want to keep the love alive. Sometime, people needs to be reminded. Love and kindness is near and can be lost. If forgotten. Powerful and worthwhile shared my friend.
