Two piggytails

school girl socks

remove all makeup

add a freckle or two



This is what rocks his boat

pretending he’s a randy old goat



Lollipop to ****

ringlets to twirl

coy innocent smile

shy head down look



I’m his pupil, he’s my master

wish he’d come faster



Shaved down there

bald as a coot

uniform, tie, slightly askew

caning offence, I kneel



My college bills are nearly paid

then I can end this sick charade

Your the broken one

but it’s my bones you break

I’m the strong one

not much more I can take

I’m the ugly one

but it’s you, you can’t face

I’m the lucky one

running away from this place

He wanted a ***** enlarger

gave him a magnifying glass

I said “where’s the food go”

he replied “look at your ***”

He likes to call me his experience

what he calls all his mistakes

I call him my grievance

my heart he constantly breaks

When he yawns he gets to open his mouth

otherwise he tends to keep stum when I’m about

he lives poor, so he can die rich

calls me an overspending *****

Were no longer love’s young dream

when I see him I want to scream

I **** his ills with pills

his money pays his funeral bills

People watching

boredom dodging

he’s an accountant

she’s probably a taunt

that one has to be a mum

looks like everyone’s chum

quickly avoiding their gaze

when your searching eyes they face

“Just a fling,

didn’t mean anything”

family in ruins

you sing the same tunes

Not the first time

you committed this crime

this crime of passion

downtrodden my new fashion

I’ve met someone new

haven’t told you

but then it’s

“Just a fling,

doesn’t mean anything”

I’ve just had an epiphany

it’s okay to be me

I’m full of insecurity

I can no longer hold my ***

some days my glass is empty

I can’t make coffee

but

I make my friends laugh with glee

I have the love of my hubby

my son says he’s proud of me

so

tomorrow I’m going to be

the best me I can be

I became we

since matrimony

problems shared

feelings aired

no easy ride

some days I haven’t tried

but right now, today

everything’s okay

it’s well worth the trip

were joined at the hip

accepting each others flaws

our achievements, applause

having each other’s back

keeps us on the right track
