I Don'T Need You

In a marital bond A fool is the person A man or a woman Who takes for granted The one who gives love The one who adores you The one who forgives you Time and time, again You kill love slowly Send the message clearly “I do not need you" When the cup is full They will walk out on you One wants to feel needed Even dogs when mistreated Will avoid you at all costs Pay attention to your partner Most especially, the quiet ones Learn how to communicate Keeping no secrets Hiding no friendships No matter how many years The marriage has held Little cracks may present Take nothing for granted Or suffer the consequence The loss of your best friend

This is very smart advice, Audrey. Too often we take for granted love that has been offered over a long period of time. Wise words! Love, Carolyn

This one is profound like a sermon. I like it. I'll keep you in mind as I go through the year. If or when I put it together, I'll send you a missive and I'll put it on tape and mail you. Regards, Gerard.

True, but also a bit bitter! I believe that nearly everyone of us experienced that. I can feel with you, Audrey! Love and beeing loved is a gift! We must always be sure of that. Love is a good reason to fight for. Thank you for commenting "Bird of Innocence"...Love, Gert

Audrey, you generally write from the heart, is it not? I hope you did not write this like that. Hope your anger melts away and you find your cheer. Dear inspirer, would thee perch on thy lofty pedestal and take up the light to show the path to us lowly mortals... that was in humor, wishing you a lot of love and bearhugs..Girish

i think this is a very different type of monoku but a very good poem, always a good lesson to a be observant of your other or the need was felt will go away.
