It is not mine to bear
Not my right to hold
But I want to relieve your greif
Can't be ditched
Can't be shared
Let's hope your pain is breif

Not expressions you attempt to mask
Like it doesn't hurt
Alone tonight in your frustration
Know he's not attentive or alert

There is only so much to be done
He's genuinely trying with all his might
Hanging out while you're asleep
Making the most of a ****** night

Eyes heavy with tiredness and concern
Across the room you snore
Stares at the barely audible TV
Bet he hates this even more

The pre-existing tension blooms here
Makes sense
Shouldn't be a surprise
Conflict inevitably surfaces
Minds fail to engage compromise

You never move forward like this
Who you are enormously holds you down
Face shows what you can't conceal
Mask twisted into a frown

By now should know better
Know you way too well
Feel unfairly treated in this building
So you put us through unjust hell

We will last through turmoil
Lift ourselves because we are strong
Darkness cannot overcome our family
Our love will carry us four along
