Notes About The Poem

A Change of Heart

A Change of Heart

My heart saw things differently. 
In it we were still in bed. 
We were laughing and talking, 
and…

It was Saturday morning, 
No where to go…
The best thing to do, 
was be with you. 
Together!

A moment later, 
you left the bed, 
you got dressed,
and left the room, 
you made coffee, for you, 
and sat out in the swing. 
That changed everything. 

I go up. 
I went into the bathroom. 
I looked into the mirror, 
I asked…
Why?

I am; 
to short to tall, to thin, to small, to fat, 
and definitely too needy.
My hairs is;
Stiff, wild and looks like I came back, 
from a party in the Caribbean…
where pirates roam and tell no tales. (Las Vegas)  

My sexy gown is out of date. 
I am all “renaissance”, Lord and Lady. 
Silly me. 
Perhaps…
I am better?
Free.

That's really sensitive...but I guess it happens to many people...Maybe the man's worried about the bank payments at the end of the month...although he should have made coffee for you too...

Most people don't get that making coffee for your sweet heart, putting out the trash (man or woman), rinsing your dish if you are not the washer, these are tiny, but they build skyscrapers of anger over years of neglect... then say "Why are you so upset, I just did do... that little thing... what is with you... nut?"
