Marriagement

It's a sweltering hot firey day
As she hides behind the door
Wondering where her life went
Wanting so much more

Tired of the same ole routine
Of listening to you snore
While sleeping on the sofa
Her life becomes a bore

Participation in this relationship
On your part would be great
Since she struggles alone
She wonders how she rates

I love you is finely spoken
But she needs to know
When communication is few
And love doesn't show

What is it you hold
Within your heart
That you can't say the words of
Or participate your  part

Sadly she cries 
Those hidden tears
Desparately waiting
On all that she fears

So tell her you need her
Everyday of your life
Show her you mean it
Afterall, she's your wife
