Inexplicable

she’ll talk about
her wedding
her honeymoon
her trip
her house
her bedroom
her livingroom
her yard
her garage
her car
i cringe~

her husband’s sitting there
apparently none of all that is theirs
he sits there outwardly immune
to her inexplicable bouts of poor english

to me it’s unthinkable quite inconceivable
yet she does have her redeeming qualities
because her heart’s so big it could explode 
which makes it all the more so mystifying

You paint their personalities well with your talented pen, Line. A revealing snapshot of a one-sided relationship. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

A great read. Materialism has just one life. Love is eternal.
