The one after the pillow write

By Stephanie Sideways

I wrote you a poem
I knew one was owing
It had to ring true and
spell out how you are
You don't have a poetic bone in your body
So demanding your interest
Was going too far

Few of my writes
Had you on the invite
As you'd said that the meaning
goes over your head
A role of the eyes is your usual reply
So 'til now I've kept most of them
from you instead.

But the morn before this
As you planted that kiss
A poem emerged
I was sure would transcend
The picture it painted was just as occurs
And I knew it would reach you.....
so,.... I pressed send.......


And that evening.......



I looked at the floor
As you walked through the door
And smiled coyly
but did not coax praise
Those curls soon turned South at the ends of my mouth
Cos the subject, I'm sad to report,
was not raised: -(

Author's Note:

It's a shame he cannot share my live if poems! But tit is healthy to have separate interests I guess! The funny thing about all this was that when I went to the poem on my messages a few days later, turns out I forgot to actually press send! Fuckin twat!

    Then the unfeeling cad is living on borrowed time, yet? I read my stuff aloud, unless the wife is doing something really important, like watching TV, which she usually is. But occasionally I catch her in a weak moment, but they grow farther apart over time. Bottom Line - family just don't get it, at best they'll think you a bit off center, good luck lady!

    Lmfao! that is what we get for assuming. i've done it i swear to god...lol. but it is true that it sucks not to be able to share something or anything we write with someone to feel it with us. but my problem about that is most 97% of them don't return for a visit once they've read me. lol.
