The Relationship Poem by TAK Erzinger

The Relationship



We cling to you for shelter
and like a greedy lover, we
often ignore your needs,
asking for more than we deserve

taking for granted the abundance
of your beauty and love
secretly hoping you will not
notice, the abuse that we heap

upon you in our day-to-day lives.
We dread the day when
you've had enough because
without you,

we will be unable to survive.
