The Virtue

For years now I have waited patiently.
I sit back and watch you with them.
Never showing the hurt,
the jealousy,
or the rejection
that I often feel.

You often take advantage of me
expecting me to be there
when often you are not.

To comfort your hurts,
ease a bruised ego,
touch an aching heart.

And for you,
I do this.

But know,
that even the most patient
of persons have a limit
and soon
I will have reached mine
and I'll want
what is mine.

another older write of mine I am placing here. Hope you like it.

    Wow.

    I sense a lot of bitterness & anger in this one. Good one, trekker.

    Another powerful write. I am so sad for what these words mean of your past; however, I have been there. Perhaps not in the same situation, but the pain is very much felt.
