King of Her Realm

Lori Steindorf Copyright April 28, 2021 You disappear for months on end. You only want to see me when it's convenient for you. You say you're busy at work or with your daughter when I try to reach out to you. Hey, at least that's a response. It can be days, weeks. You get it. Hell, I never know if I will hear from you again. Evolve some please before you consider seeing me. You call me stubborn when I have autonomy in my life and can't make time. Divine intervention to preserve my heart and mind. I'm understanding now why you have an ex-wife. Well, this time around it's not me, it's the obnoxious you. Your dimly lit cave craves you and your dimwit ways. Cradle yourself to sleep when you've had a bad day. Let me make it clear There's no meeting of the minds here I think we've both figured that one out The chemistry was scorching Without substance There's nothing to us Maybe you will or maybe you won't Ever understand But your daughter does or soon will She looks up to you You're the king of her realm I hope you teach her not to choose Cold, unavailable, insensitive men.
