A Fool In Love

You come home late
		and broke again
		and once again
		I let you in

		You lay around
		while I do the work
		and once again
		I clean and curse

		You look for me to pay the bills
		and once again
		I say I will 

		You turn to me to clean your clothes
		and once again 
		I wash all loads

		What’s wrong with me
		am I a fool
		cause once again
		I excuse your mood

		There’s more to love that meets the eye
		It’s hard for a heart in love to die
		I must move on - I always say
		but once again you have your way

Judy Gaines, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
