Sunflower-The Sun

When you come home late drunk stinking vulgar i open up the door warm your food take off your clothes i carry you to bed. Wake you early in the morning run you a hot bath Choose and iron your clothes Make your coffee pack an apple and snack make sure my man will be fresh and looking fine. Five years and counting, simple words like thank you,no more the doting look you used to give me,no more flowers and candy,no more you are beautiful,no more phone calls,diner,family vacations, no more am proud to be your man,no more i love you,no more thank you for loving me,no more the kissing,the hugging,the sex,i ain't getting none no more. When you said you wanted me home full time i dropped my career to take care of the kids. Though i love a little flesh on me i trim every time you say am getting thick. Baby every time you say it ain't enough i always make it up to you when you say jump i never question why i just fly all the way. (repeat Vs 2) I keep my body tight decorate the house as you like make sure the food is divine remind the kids what great a man you are Oh!i even pretend that i am alright. Baby each minute of everyday without hesitation i do will do whatever it takes to make you proud i sacrifice forfeit let you trample all over me so you shine. Five years and counting, simple words like thank you,no more the doting look you used to give me,no more flowers and candy,no more you are beautiful,no more phone calls,diner,family vacations, no more am proud to be your man,no more i love you,no more thank you for loving me,no more the kissing,the hugging,the sex,i ain't getting none no Day nor night do you appreciate me anymore. You don't see me no more. Baby i wanna know why,when and how did i stop being your woman your best friend and sweetness in life. why,when and how did i stop being your wife? because baby its been Five years and counting, simple words like thank you,no more the doting look you used to give me,no more flowers and candy,no more you are beautiful,no more phone calls,diner,family vacations, no more am proud to be your man,no more i love you,no more thank you for loving me,no more the kissing,the hugging,the sex,i ain't getting none no

Mel maybe you can help me understand,why does your gender,immediately after the honeymoon stage or the moment you put a ring on her figure,you start to see her as your house help?Why do most men stop treating their women as they did or should?i believe the value of a person,a woman in this case appreciates daily,i give birth to your kids,you should honour me more,i take care of you,you should cherish me more!so what happens because in most men eyes,the moment she become the wife,her value seem to depreciate?!why?is it the bills or wh

Profound...Wow! You expressed this so so well. One wonders at times, what it is about marriage that steals that wonder away. Is it "familiarity breeds contempt?" What is it? I felt the anguish in every line. I'm really amazed by your write, my dear. Don't feel bad, no more! ;) You are a wonderful woman!

Hiii Eileen,you know you said it best,it is the familiarity that breeds contempt!This men want us to submit,when we submit,they start to treat us more like a roommate of their handmaid or mere furniture in the house! Thanks my dear,i appreciate the compliment.i wrote it for a competition in another site subject being "unappreciated"!!! glad you like it! xoxo!!!
