The value I need
to meet in my man
Exceeds a check list
or well laid plan
time money
sense of self
should go without saying
enough, I’m done
not playing
around
come to me come to me come to
beg pardon plead
respect and what exactly does that mean
breadcrumbs and morsels
keep going please
kind words and security
only
for me
I’m worthy,
I am enough
You do it with grace
He says
Raise three kids
A home, a family
career
what options are there?
I hustle
nights and weekends
til the arm falls off
over worked
exhaustion
smile for the kids
til I can’t anymore
passion for hair
he sees
Rembrandt Picasso Matisse
all in a days work
appointment making
blow drying
12 hour days
taxing
responsibilities
plus the gf effect
to please
attention with morning calls dress for dinner
ill make your life easier
he says
bs I call
living for the long way home
kitchen dancing
theater retreat
god damn, lucky dog lucky dog lucky dog he says
no, I AM
Good morning beautiful…
ladies, you know!
When they take it away
the argument from Sunday
turns to punishment
next morning wake
greeting, poof
the morning call,
for you
the night owl quiet,
boo
ghost, silence, nothing is new
there,
but really?
i do come to you
a chore, in the end
drop off the groceries
put up the cash
a fancy dinner
gifts,
my ass
family events
arm candy,
perhaps
the love of the heart
time is money
no longer a greeting…
independence again
freeing.
