There is a Man

[VioletNight]

This is a poem I wrote on a whim recently. It's pretty generic.





There is a Man

There is a man
I shun him
He never cares
I mock him
He never cries
I starve him
He never minds
I hurt him
He never moves
I embarrass him
He never hides

And should I fall
He will break it

There is a man
He never quits
I never try
He never argues
I never listen
He is accepting
I am demanding
He creates strength
I sap it away
He never breaks
I'm already broken

And he is my shield
All worn and cracked

There is a man
Facing my fears
Absorbing my pain
Concealing my failures
I do not deserve this man
But there he is day after day

Performing a thankless job
For one as ungrateful as I

I think I have meet this individual.

Most assuredly agree.  Thank you for sharing, Violet.
