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.
