Recompense
I can read it, perceive it
between the lines.
You wish I listened more
and stopped keeping score.
You'd like me to be taller
and my ears lobes smaller.
You feel my ties look cheap
with a suit too old to keep.
You dislike my laughter
and still will forever after.
You hope I would control
body noises from below.
My shoes you find a disgrace
for putting a frown on your face.
You won't say it but to be fair
unlike he of your love affair
I've been able to keep my hair.
So there!
Between the lines.
