I Guess We Shouldn't…Really!Cos The Truth Will Always Out! I wasn't going to put this on; I don't want to hurt my kids, But I figure they wont see it anyway, So it doesnt matter, but if they do see it... What can I say? You see, this isn't slander... Its fact! ************************* When I left my ex husband, Of 27 years married!! I might add! I guess I got wise and had taken enough, Cos things were really bad. He never hit me, cos he'd be dead! Its just his temper was a curse, And every time that I got more ill, His impatience became much, much worse! People see what they want to see, And they saw what he said he did for me, Cooking, shopping, cleaning and stuff, A few of the things he likes people to ‘see'! And my kids only knew what they knew, They are grown and flown and away, So they are thinking their dad did it all, But to that I shout; ‘NO WAY!!!' I had to struggle to do things I shouldn't, And the home-help came in every day, So I would sit and waste my life!, And no, it wasn't at all okay!! When I was ill, when I was there, Literally unable to get out of bed, The ex never asked me if I wanted food or drink, Trust me, it has to be said!! So I would drink from cans of coke, Eat bananas and chocolate kept in my room, For if I didn't do that, then I would be ill, And the thought brought about doom and gloom. So I did what I did to get by, Never moaned about my pain, In fact, never moaned about any of my health, Cos in truth, there was nothing to gain. So I carried my pain in silence, Did what I had to do to get through the day, Struggle to cook him his meals, And suffer the pain I had every day. After I would cook him a meal, I would have to go to bed to lie down, Rest my spine, for it is wrecked, And when I went to bed, I'd see him frown! ‘What's the matter now!' He would shout! How I wanted to lamp him right then! But I never, I just walked away… And went to my bedroom, sighing, ‘Amen!' There I would lie for days on end, Pain creasing my every move and more, Getting through it as best I can, No-one coming to my aid, my door! One time he left me in the middle of a road, In my broken down electric chair, He drove off swearing as he did, He really and truly didn't care… Had he cared he wouldn't have done that! He told me to phone my daughter to get me home! So she pushed me in a very heavy chair, Livid with her dad that he'd abandon me all alone! She was upset for me, not impressed with her dad, And anyway, what can't speak can't lie! So she knew some stuff that went on, And I got so down all I'd do was cry. And one time when I was confined to bed, In the early days AFTER I‘d fled the family home, He told my son, who phoned up from abroad… And my son told me I shouldn't be alone! Telling me I should be back with his dad, So his dad could LOOK AFTER me! But he only knows what he is told by his dad, And that's not the truth he was told you see! But what can I do? Cause a scene? Talking about his dad in a negative way! Cos he would never believe me, He didn't live here, and never saw, as I say… And I wont ever tell him the truth, After all, it's his dad, and he loves him, But as I always say; the truth will out, And that's the time I will win! And the truth is coming out!! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
