The Little Things

For the love of the little things

I dip my finger in my coffee and twirl until the liquid begins to spill

You frown and say of such childishness you've had your fill

I frown and bite my lip, refusing to let my whimper out

You immediately respond for me not to pout

I lay my head on the table as you begin to read the news

You wrapped in reality and me again lost in the daydreams I'll always choose

It was once love for the little things

Riding in the truck I turn up one of my favorite songs, begin to sing along

You turn off the radio and say you don't want to listen to me on a drive this long

I stare out the window and ask if you could go anywhere where would you be

You scoff and reply you live in reality and let it be

I get excited as we arrive, what are we going to do?

You slam the door to the truck and say please act right, tell you what just don't be you

It's become resentment for the little things

My laugh gone, my crazy dreams faded, and my wild nature held within a cage

Your warmth now cold to the touch, your love now looks of disdain, Your joy now rage

All the little things changed...

The day you gave me that ring

Great poem, best one I've read all day and I'm pretty picky :P The last line's the best bite, I must say.

Thank you It seems marriage changes things for many people. I don't understand why

[Wesley Dingler]

Wow, this is great, Jessica.
I love the intermediate lines between the stanzas, the way they seem to sigh and further the message of your problem.



Good job.

Thanks Wesley, I try most of the time to write as it comes out my mouth lol

I think the guy you are talking about probably drives a Ford truck. His jeans smell like farts. He probably never even had a Gamecube. Monster energy drinks for days. Camo hat.

Men are like Martians.

They eat everything from taco bell.

LMFAO, people change. He wasn't always such a boar once upon a time he was a loving gentlemen, He's actually well groomed and intelligent, but yeppers it's a ford lol
