Wow
Bait And Switch
i sit in a room with the man said he’d love me
even with the cost of my bags
but when I talk, he says, shhh, the tv
asks bout my day and goes out for a drag
on his cell from the time he gets back from work
yaks at me and the dog like a jerk
tho I help with his boy, he had, when we were wed
not the item he once was, when we met
a sigh can’t even show the ugh that I feel
time in a day drag like a rod with no reel
I need a new way to get him out of my hair
plan a spa day, for some much need of care

we all go through things similiar. with mine, I'm never right even when proven I am. very frustrating but now, he's show signs of dementia so now, no matter what, he'll always be right. can't argue with someone who can't remember.
See, this is why we should stay single and do whatever we want, lol. Awesome poem!
I'm looking for some way to get her back into my hair. (Though a spa day is always good.)
Makes me think of that song from South Pacific. “I’m Going To Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair”.
I love this. Think it accurately describes a lot of relationships
Magnificent!!! Loving the last line, the plan spa day is definitely necessary!!!♥️♥️💕
Spa day me Too 😉❤️💛💖
"time in a day drag like a rod with no reel"- awesome metaphor!
