(I really like this one. It’s social commentary again. Had myself confused at first until I read it once again. Hope you enjoy.)
We depend on you
Our rock to hold
Within the tempest
Ignoring the chips
We are tearing off
*
We see you breaking
Becoming a human husk
Going through motions
To help those around
Believing you have no choice
*
Your eyes are sinking
Into crackling skin
Limbs twitching without cause
Yet we ask you carry on
Because you are the only one
*
We know some wish to save you
Telling you to leave
Yet our claws run deep
Gripping your spirit
In an ever crushing hold
*
We know you will carry on
Too many hold you high
Depending on your sacrifice
To save them
From the fate of sweating hard
*
We should tell our secret
Since you cannot leave our realm
Anyone can do your job
And we will find them
After you are spent

What a chilling description of an abusive relationship.

Yeah. Although, this was about how certain employers treat and discard employees. Retail and office work are horrible for this.
