She Said What?
He's protecting me, us
he's not keeping out solutions
It's my fault... I know what I said
I should know his triggers
He got mad when I said
thank you for being patient
Because he was playing chicken
with his soul
He said "I don't know how to love"
I don't know how he would do it better
with someone so hard to love
as me
His plans never come together
because of me
He never eats what he wants
when he wants
Wakes up to kids rotating all over
noisy, hair pulling
His morning massages are always getting
interrupted by me running off after things
Walks through a house
that never looks clean
or professional
although he's not above rolling up his own sleeves
It's always wrecked the next day unless constantly
followed up on throughout...
which it never is!
Is it any wonder he could never help
arrange for things to go any differently?
Dr Laura would say a man needs 2 things from
a woman
My man doesn't know what that would be like...
But...
I can ensure everything else!
