May 2018
It has just been a year and some days
But I think I’m falling out of love with you
Maybe it was when you called me out and said that my clothes don’t fit right
Maybe it was when you said my hair is too short, and it makes me look like a boy
Maybe it was when you said I had no ambitions in life
Gave it no thought and just laughed it off
Even after you  knew about my past
Bits and pieces, but certainly enough for a stranger
Maybe it was when you started to compare me with other woman
“look how thin she is”
“ look how well she manages her husband”
“look at the way she runs her household”
No woman likes being compared my dear
So I am no exception
But I must say I am glad it has happened
You expect too much from your forever person and they well hurt you
They well let you down
You sit in silence and expect him to understand you
It never works
You argue, loose patience and try to make him understand you
But he does not
He tells you what he thinks is right and calls it a night
Well  this will be the last time you hurt me
Misunderstand me
Make me cry
I feel pounds lighter
My expectations are slowly dying one by one
Maybe it is for the best
Distance has done nothing for this heart
I cannot even say I am sorry for the ways things have ended on my part
