Older Woman/Younger Guy

Too much responsibility.
Too much pressure.
He's not a child,
I'm not a mother.

Why do they blame me
for the works of the other?
It's not fair to be-
And we regret to bother.

Frustration, neglect
Accusation, reflect.
Love, live
Confiscate, give
Solitude....always nude-
(don't be crude)
Forgive.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
