Can you love
someone?
But not
actually like them?
Is it fair
that one should?
Always be
right: ad infinitum?
Where is the
fairness in life?
When a man is
always “above”
His poor
long-suffering wife
What ever
happened to “deal with love”?
When there is
no empathy?
When there is
no understanding?
Only
one-sidedness: can’t even hide it!
How does one
survive without some tragic cost?
When
depression comes lumbering?
From the
simple lack of empathy!
From being left
too long without a voice!
For poor
women: what is their choice?
“Put up and shut up” that’s a joke!
How does the poor old bloke
Like it when
the table’s turned?
When it his
words that are spurned?
How would he
like it if it was his little girl?
In the firing
line: would that still be fine?
I still
remember the look upon my dad’s face
As he left
that day: sad to leave: just in case!
His eyes
begged of him: “please don’t hurt her!
Please, love her! Please, be kind!”
Must I turn
away from my girl: must I leave?
How it hurt
his heart: in being thus deceived!
Pretending
all is well: pretending that you fell
Hiding behind
heavy make-up: long sleeves
Avoiding
people’s eyes: using anything to disguise
Anything to
escape those sympathetic gazes
