You are

​

I am in love

Your carefree nature has enchanted me

Your youth makes my old bones dance

I will offer you everything

You are special

I am happy

Your friendly eyes look up at me

Your warmth illuminates my life

I will shield you from the world

You are worthy of protection

I am tired

Your loving words give me strength

Your carefree happiness is worth every sacrifice to me

I will quietly shoulder everything for you

You are valuable

I am irritated

Your caresses can no longer ease my burden

You do not see my efforts

I must suffer for your happiness

You are ungrateful

I am harsh

Your cheerfulness mocks my discontent

You ask water from a stone

You must hold yourself back

You are frustrating

I am full of contempt

Your childish complaints frustrate me

You dare to be unhappy

You must finally grow up

You are selfish

I am unfaithful

Your body has lost its youth and your warmth has turned to ice

You look down on me with a cold gaze and deny me the prize I deserve

I get what I am entitled to even without you

You are unattractive

I am abandoned

Your ugly true face has finally revealed itself

You leave me feeling used and lonely

I must face the truth

You are like all the others before you

I somehow screwed up the format. So please just do a small pause after each "You are" part 😅
