She will give him everything she has
Until she has nothing left to give
And then he will hate her.

Not because she has nothing left to give
But because she will start to take.

She will take his energy
His love
His sanity.

She will take his peace
His patience
And his clarity

And sooner or later
He will become just as empty as her
Just as broken
Just as vulnerable

And through his hate
He will start to give
