I don’t think I can take it,
I really had enough,
You keep calling the house,
But when I answer you hang up.
My husband says you’re just a stupid kid,
And that you will stop soon,
But you never hang up on him,
Though sometimes he takes it in the other room.
I wonder if you’d just hold on,
For a great need has arisen,
And I have so much to say,
If you would only listen.
I’d tell you about my children,
They are healthy, they are happy,
And I would tell you how very much,
Those kids love their daddy.
I’d tell you how joyful we once were,
Such a perfect match,
And how everything will be better,
When we get over this rough patch.
I’d tell you how it feels,
To sit around and wait,
For him to come home,
When he says he’s working late.
I have faith in something bigger,
And I can still believe,
He wasn’t lying when he told me,
He would never leave.
I can tell you about the dreams we had,
And all the things we did,
But oh why would I tell you all that?
You’re just a stupid kid.

So depressing… love the last line.
That’s right…this depressing message has been brought to you by…Rock n’ Roll Supermom…because life’s not depressing enough…but seriously, thanks Sparrow.
Wow. Poignant. Well written.
Thanks Phil!
You weren’t snarky at all today. Are you sure that you’re okay? And I’m still amazed that you can make virtually any subject into a poem.
Yes, I’m fine and thank you. You know I’ve been doing this poem a day writing challenge so I guess I’m trying to change it up a bit so I don’t get completely bored of myself and have everyone get bored of me. It’s really hard doing a blog a day. I don’t know how people do it!
Wow 😦
Yes, a bit depressing I’m afraid. Thanks for showing your appreciation though!
Brilliant. The clingy dumb ones are the worst. Maybe I was lucky my husbands ex OW wasn’t a kid, she was my age, married and a mother. She’s also a total psycho. Why is that lucky? Well only because he hates her now for her dramatics and tantrums. He would have felt sorry for a kid.
By the way I don’t think being a stupid kid is any kind of excuse. If she’s old enough to drive she’s old enough to stay out of other peoples marriages.
I completely agree. Thanks for your comment Nephila.
