Slagar Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The Bag and Poetry ------------------ He's a property developer, Ah, how foolish of me, he drives a BMW, And he likes poetry, and... Any man would love poetry if you asked him, He has his life, I have mine, it seems to work quite well, What a nice life you'll have. I hope it's so convenient in twenty years, When your children bear his name, and his face, Perhaps Louis-Vuitton will keep the sun warm While I follow my heart, And I drive a Mitsubishi, With my wife that hates poetry, And our lives, bitterly intertwined, Becomes a terrible inconvenience. ----- No real editing or purpose, other than to vent a little. I was hurt, shocked, and confused when she mentioned "my boyfriend". I felt like she seriously led me on, considering. These are some of the thoughts going through my head while she divulged some details about him. I realise it's bitter and sarcastic, and not at all attractive, it just had to be said somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donovan79 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 So.... you're cheating on your wife with a girl who left you for a realtor...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtyO Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I find it interesting that you are tying current realities to future expectations of happiness and success. Just because you drive a Mitsubishi now does not mean that you and your future wife can not be driving BMWs and have LV accessories later on. We design our futures by our daily actions. 7 years ago I was a debt laden, newly married university student living in a bachelor hovel. We had nothing. Now my wife and I have a 5 bedroom Victorian on 11 acres and both drive an Audis. Our possessions do not make us who we are, but through vision and hard work we were able to build a better life together. You can easily do the same for yourself if you want it. Believe in yourself!
