Freeloading in my relationship
I give, you want more.
I give, you are not appreciative
and do not notice.
I give and you complain
I did not give well
I give again, and you complain
it is not enough.
You do not give,
and I do not say anything.
I excuse it, as do you.
maybe I do not deserve to receive.
You do not give and eventually,
I do not give.
There is emptiness
and nothing to draw from
You are unhappy,
that I no longer give,
You want to continue to freeload
from our relationship.
There is no respect or understanding of it
and its needs to receive
and have reserves to draw from.
There is no recognition or acknowledgment
of all that is unjustly taken.

Listen to my sullen voice as I tell you who you are.
