The Good Wife

I've felt essentially nothing as of late. Such a good little girl.. Hide behind laundry; cooking, and coffee, and the suds in the sink while you think of absolutely nothing. Such a good little girl.. Do your work, hone your studies. And sing about stories that would emerge from your heart but you feel nothing. Nothing at all. Such a good little girl.. Child, why are you running? How cynically funny it is you think you are content in knowing that a stable life is amid the ashes of your burnt dreams. The good wife, a couple of kids.. a leash.. Such a good little girl.. You live to please and in repayment, your life is at ease with the peace of mind to know that, really, you're better off. And you should feel something but instead, just feel nothing. Nothing at all. But you hide it so well. Such a good little girl..
