Ego by Adrian FosterTo see the pain
That I go through
Would be a task
So far from you
Be it
To do
Still I strive
And I pray
For the strength
To go forth
Through the knots
That you weave
The mesh
Of all sorts
You think
It is normal
For a woman
To act
In ways
Unexclusive
To the man
Who has always
Had her back
What I do not
Understand
Is your reason
For trying
To be more than
The song
That your Soul
Can sing
I understand
You're a woman
And that a woman
Has her ways
But
After three kids
And 47 years
I'd come to think
You would be
Happy
With who you are
Today
Block my number
To suit yourself
If I block yours
I'm creating
My own hell
You've destroyed
Your marriage
Now you're destroying
You and Me
One can be
A lonely number
For an eternity
Still you flirt
And you flaunt
Say there is noone
But me
Then why all the shopping
For clothes and jewelry
That I do NOT see
Your stories don't concur
Your straying eyes
Tell a story
If you can do this
To your husband
Why not to me
Hide me
From your family
Lie about me
To your friends
The only thing
I see
Is a means
To an End. 10/02/2014
