X Marks the Spot

He thought he knew me oh so well
Every inch and flinch and swallow
But as time passed I realized 
How empty unfulfilled and shallow
One sided love is torment
When he doesn't have a clue
Faking is not my forte 
What's a girl to do?
I have told him time and time
Where the magic lies
Whether booze or lack of brains
He just can't get it right
So now I have decided 
To purchase a black pen
And each and every jolly spot
I will mark with an X for Him
If this does not work 
Than kick him out the door
For what's a girl to do
When the man is just a bore!

Hahaha. Thank you. Humor can save your sex life. Go to the emergency room and get a surgery marker. Surprise your wife. Lol
