a little less loved

lucky you are

you say no man

would stay with someone

like me who needs endless fixing

you continue to say

men leave

men lie

but i stay

i support

you say as if i don't say thank you enough

as if i don't do the same

but i forget you can't see me

maybe one day you'll feel lucky too

but i know today is not the day

so i try again to be better for our children and love you a little less because i know that is what you want to be left alone while you fill a role
