Skating on thin ice
Everything I say seems to make you hate me more
That’s not how it’s supposed to be
I whispered in your ear and you accused me of screaming

Dear husband,
Who is supposed to love me when you don’t?
Who am I supposed to impress when I can’t  even arouse your curiosity
Wasn't it only yesterday when I was the object of your interest?
Or wait maybe it was just lust and now years of child bearing have diminished my worth?

Dear husband,
What about those promises made under the stars?
Or the five children that we had in less than 10 years?
Or the bruises I hid every time you hit me and I didn't tell a soul?
What about them my love?

Dear husband,
Yesterday I put on the dress that you used to like,
You said I look like a *****,
I tried another one and you called me an old hag
What changed my love?

Dear husband
Don’t say I never loved you,
But today I'm going to file for a divorce
I'm not ashamed, I'm not a failure
I'm just a woman standing up for herself!
men, lets love our women even when age catches up with them....
