Can'T Give Up

Wake in the morning at 5am Getting ready for work While getting papers filled out for another job Leaving the one you love for the work shift And have to stay till near midnight. "Have to do this for the both of us," You keep telling yourself that Because you know that she is struggling To find employment and also cleans messes up that you offer to help but she insisted to clean by herself "I can't give up." By the time you're on break, Or have some downtime in between cleans, You text her to check up because you worry For her She usually still asleep, But sometimes she replies that she is doing okay It makes you happy when she replies Or calls you out the blue "I won't give up for you and us," You tell her. Come back home late at night Taking off your work gear and jackets you wore Try to check on her and yet shes asleep Gave her a kiss as saying "Goodnight love." Lay next to her as her comfort is needed And so you wrap your arm around her Because she missed you and that She knows you won't give up on her
