From Knee to You

A little song I wrote for a class back in high school

 

How could you torture me the way you do

After the support I’ve given you?

Throughout your life I’ve always been there

Think of the experiences that we shared

I brought you home when it was dark

Frolicked with you in the park

I took you wherever you needed to go

But never did your gratitude show

 

I don’t mean to cause you any pain

But I feel I cared for you in vain

Never did you consider that you mistreated me

Took me for granted knowing… I’ll always be your knee

 

Don’t you see that I meant well?

Then you went and tore your ACL

My sense of duty for you was so pure

Now I’m rheumatic and there is no cure

I bent to suit your needs

But you scraped me till I started to bleed

I wish you’d understand

Your care is all I demand

 

I’ll let you land on me when you fall

Let you bang me against the wall

To let anyone harm me would be treason

God put us together for reason

 

I don’t mean to cause you any pain

But I feel like I took care of you in vain

Never did you consider that you mistreated me

Took me for granted knowing… I’ll always be your knee

This is really good . Its also very unique .. Sometimes in life people take us for granted esspecially those who we love most and it hurts because we are there for them all the time and we do anything for them but yet we get treated like crap...but very nice poem .. i loved it ^.^

I may be reaching, but I too have had a best friend who took me for granted. I bathed her, brushed her, fed her cookies, and all she did was eat horse poop before licking my face. The ingratitude.

I love how you are his "knee". Clever.

I love this poem. It's my favorite. I can totally relate because I took one of my bestguy friends forgranted also and it blew up in my face. I now regret everything I did but I also did not realize that I was doing it. But like I said great write, it was my favorite and thank you for my review!
