Not a Trophy Anymore

Not A Trophy Anymore

Wasn’t meant to be stuffed
 In a suburban house
Surrounded by box shrubs,
Waiting for my husband
To come home.

I want to roam,
To be in the world,
Living a life of adventure,
Not full of boredom.

I want a voice and a skill,
Besides cooking a hot meal.

It’s no big deal,
But that’s how I
Lost my boyfriend’s will
To be with me.
I’m no trophy to him anymore.

Sad write Marie.. Love can sometimes be stifling, we sometimes loose ourselves in relationships which is not a good thing *hugs*
