People Fight, Or So I知 Told
Apparently there are reasons people fight
I致e just read a poem that lays that out
I look at how long we致e been together
I致e looked at how happy we always are
And I can't think of one good reason,
although:
There was that time
You wanted fucia pink
And I wanted plain magnolia
And then there was that time
You wanted Venetian blinds
And I wanted curtains
Then there was that time
You wanted dark wood
And I wanted pine
And there was that time
You wanted Ibiza
And I wanted Blackpool
You wanted long walks
I wanted the sofa
You wanted dancing
I wanted sitting
You wanted Bowie
I wanted Elgar
You wanted MacDonald痴
I wanted steak
You wanted to find yourself
I wanted to loose myself
You wanted children
I wanted dogs
You wanted celibacy
I just sat and wanted
You wanted your own way
It was easier to give you it
You wanted a divorce
Funnily enough so did I

"You wanted your own way

No, it wasn't but you've already learned that
and explained it in this well structured poem.
i appreciate personal poems like this,
they challenge me to look in the mirror.

Fantastic poem David. Funny but with a tinge of sadness because I think it accurately reflects the course of events in so many failed relationships...or maybe Im overly sensitive to it because I think we just passed the 'you wanted children, I wanted dogs' stage! Very funny stuff!

thanks Ed I am really glad you got the serious undertones to this poem - it came out of a debate i recently had with my wife and apart from the last two lines it is based in truth - luckily enough we are still crazy about each other despite our differences :-)
thanks for taking the time to read and comment - means a lot :-)
