This Is Your Life, Girlfriend

This is not my adoring partner.
                                This is not my best friend.
                                This is not my plan.
                                This is not my guiding light.
                                This is not my prize at the end of a long day.
                                This is not my adventurous lover.
                                This is not my solice amidst the chaos.
                                This is not my hug, wheather deserved or not.
                                This is not my companion.
                                This is not my share.
                                This is not my care.
                                This is not my surprize.
                                This is not my special moment.
                                This is not my bouquet of flowers.
                                This is not my longing for your touch.
                                This is not my unfailing thoughtfulness. 
                                This is not my every Friday night date.
                                This is not my beautiful man.
                                This is not my potential.
                                This is not my reality.

Love this Kristi. Unhappy marriage seems to be a very common theme in a lot of poetry. Sad fact of life. I wrote about mine too. Thanks for this Monica
