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 😅
