When he's off for a stroll in the park
or something less tradional.
I'll sit here in this plastic chair,
head turned down
thumbing the carpet.
Thinking..
how selfish I've become.

Hours wasted..
trying to provide for us.
Money in your pocket,
food on the table.
Damn it, why can't I just be happy.
I'm thankful.
But don't look at me with so much disdain..
as if I'm something you didn't create.
You filled your desire
and now I'm formed.
Alive...or so I'm told.

Pay your price.
Lay the coins upon the table.
Don't throw you gulit onto me.
Don't feed me those lines.
Don't expect any pity.
I'll throw them up one by one.
And line them in a row.

Neither of us has the right.
So lets keep the conversation light.
A smile across the dinner table.
A kiss goodnight

Really, a very nice piece. Wonder why it's gotten so little attention?

Good work

yes, that makes two of us. thank you. I appreciate your reply. I am falling apart emotionally, and there is semi comfort in knowing others, people I don't even know and may never meet are willing to tell me good job and mean it. Worth taking another breath..thank you!

This is a good poem. And even though I cant relate to it as much right now I have had my experiences. Nice write.

a trickle of music from a well
let it spill and roar like hell!
