To what I've given so little thought
Forgive me, I know I ought
To show you more gratitude
For putting up with my attitude
On days I pounded you
With balled fists as my anger threw
Me into a fit
And you were all I could hit
To find some sense of relief
Or maybe some hope for peace
To what I've never thanked
I now express my gratefulness
For catching my tears
Produced from fears
And anxieties and pain
And memories replayed
You absorbed my soul
As I cried into your hold
And you just laid
Waiting, embracing me
Silent as I poured
Out my guts and gore
Never holding back
I gave you my panic attacks
And you just laid
Waiting, Embracing me
To what I've undervalued
I want to say thank you
For carrying my dreams
Every night when I'm asleep
For holding my head
When my shoulders are dead
From trudging through the days
Hoisting my burdens the whole way
You wait for me at night
A soft bed for my tired mind
Even in the afternoons
When a nap is all I can do
You're there, so undeterred
A subtle source of comfort
Thank you for giving me rest
For being so consistent that I forget
How much you do for me
How you meet my needs
And you just lay there
Waiting, embracing me
