She Owes Them Nothing

A man who claims to love his wife
Never should take another mans side
After he stands there cussing her out
By her side he should always abide

It seems not all men do this with his wife
Instead he stays with his drunken friends
Making excuses for the things they say
Wondering why his wife won't make amends

I don't think a wife owes her husbands friends
Forgiveness for the things they say or do
Just because they might have been so drunk
The wife does not have to forgive them too

She owes them nothing that I can see
So why should you expect that from me

A lot of truth in this one

Sue, what you've said is so true, I'm pretty sure many can relate! Sometimes I wonder, where does the word "objectivity" go in a company of men?

Life is like a poker hand. We never know the cards we will be dealt. But you are right you owe them nothing. Good write.

Sue darling girl this is so well written it broke my heart. When you write the deep truths that abide in your soul you excel darling heart,
Truly exquisite writing I love it love it love it utterly utterly utterly

Perfect poetic phrases, I love it


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

SmartChick, you owe them nothing, but you can pay them out anyway. Powerful sentiments.

I agree with Kethry. The wife owes them nothing. You expressed your thoughts very well in this poem.

You owe them nothing, Sue...
absolutely nothing, unless you can think of something totally and appropriately vengeful.
Sorry...I am a troublemaker, but I love you my dear friend and want to see things get better for you.

I've been noticing, Sue...
that the more you write of the truth...
the better your poetry becomes....

keep writing...
there're a lot of lessons still to be shared...
