So what if she
breaks her back
so long as she
cooks and cleans
for him?

So what if she
is taken for granted
so long as she
satisfies all 
of his needs?

So what if she
is sick or sleep-deprived
so long as she
doesn't stop slaving
for the household?

So what if her
conversations are zoned out
so long as she
pays attention
to his words?

So what if she
is ignored or unfulfilled
so long as she
doesn't turn away
from him?

So what if she
sheds a thousand tears
so long as she
doesn't let him see?
