Anything

Ever give your all for someone who truly needed it and always kind of will. Yet despite all of this they'll still kick you and hard every now and again?

 

I’d do anything for you, I’d carry you from the fire.

Tend your wounds and keep your voice, replenish your empire.

 

                                   

 

 

My muscles ache and my ears cry havoc, your words turn my inclination.

All I do is try to help, and yet still you are impatient.

 

Nothing results from everything, and all I try to do.

And yet still I stagger through the rain, still I’d do anything for you.

First off, had to chuckle at that pic, says a lot to begin with. There will always be givers and takers in life, sometimes we fit into both categories nicely, but then there are others that will never understand the concept of both. No matter what we do, it'll never be enough for the true takers. I can wrap my head around this one, I think we all have dealt with someone like this in our lives, nicely pen'd Brett.

Thank you Frieda, very kind of you to take the time read and appraise my work.
Glad that you liked it!

😊

My pleasure Brett, good to read you again.

[Brett Pritchard]

Yeah I've been kinda busy lately so been a while since I penned anything.
I'll be back on it soon though!

Some people are born only to give and get nothing in return.And some like our old parents, act impatient with us, knowing fully well that we'd do anything for them unconditionally.Very apt words to describe your feelings.
I hope I have interpreted you right.

Thanks for reviewing!
Yeah you're in the right ball park certainly. The piece is actually about my grandmother. Someone I love very much and do a lot for and yet still she can be belligerent.
Mark you, you could throw that description into role reversal also with reference to our relationship so maybe we just mimic one another. 😊

Very concise, but you still managed to breathe life into this one. I feel the concept...some of us just can't help but give and give desptie the outcome. I'm one of those people; I give beyond my limits, and rarely recieve the same in return. Nice flow, good imagery...overall, a nice write.

[Brett Pritchard]

Thanks. Yeah this is a quick piece, but I only really had this to say on the matter. Hopefully my words though brief carried their meaning adequately.

Thanks for reading!
