No NameA Poem by boobalajcushionI'll tell you when we met, you were the kindest I'd seen And how I'd longed for a man like you, of that I had dreamed You said you loved me as I had my own mind But you disagreed with my views and picked on whatever I liked I remember when you poked the skin between my thighs And you asked me what it was there and said that you had never seen it before, I cried My legs Size six, too fat When you told me you would not be seen in public with me My midriff showing, shawl and hat The day I felt happy and myself and you gave me dirty looks For my makeup was not how you liked, a clown you said as you ridiculed And although they all had dark hair you said you liked blonde the best So when I changed it for a wispy grey tone you picked on the blues as they were not adept Once told Tidy house Tidy mind I liked to cook, clean and launder as you reclined But with no lust the love came from desire to chore, a mother I had become, a housewife no more Though you fell for me when I was in my prime, makeup, hair, nails, done all the time You asked me to change & you came to despise what I was before you arrived So when I begin to love myself and again I try I hold back the tears. You never wanted me to be myself and it was all a lie © 2017 boobalajcushion |
