Ego

by Adrian Foster

To 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.
