On A Journey To The Unknown

You act as if I don't exist
Never even talking to me
You go straight to your moms
When you get off of work
Never paying any attention to me
When I ask you to do something
You never even want to do it
Saying you have to go do something else

Now you ask me to do something for you
Thinking that I should do whatever you ask
I only exist when you want something from me
Any other time I am like an old pair of shoes
Tossed in the back of the closet
Never even giving me another thought
It's funny how you remember me
When there is something you want from me

You even refused to come and get me
When my car was broke down
Forty-five miles away from home
I thought that a husband
Was suppose to take care of his wife
Atleast that is what I have seen other husbands do
Not you though
You just left me there on my own

I knew there would come another time
When there would be something you wanted from me
Just what makes you think I should do for you now
After all of the things you have said and done to me
Women aren't there just to do for the man
The man is suppose to be just as willing
To do for the woman
As he is for the woman to do for him

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sue, this is so very sad, sweet friend, it too hurts me deeply to see many men take advantage of women, for I may be young but I feel sad when I see that happen and dream of being there for my dream girl if I ever get the chance to have one! (sad sigh) My heart cries out to you, sweet friend, we are always here if you need someone to talk to, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I think this happens more often than we realize, Sue....

My first husband started to be like this when we first got married, and I just gave him a taste of his own medicine...

Hope you can see your way through this.

Take care
