So really quite a sloppy piece i think, no real rythm apart from the occaisional spattering, but i'd really appreaciate any comments

Smiles are fake, behind eyes,

One thousand countless lies

Life looks perfect

Sure as heck it does

But…

Five minutes previous

He came in complaining

This

house

is a mess!

Sounds sad I know

But I no longer care

A year or so and I can leave

This all behind and forget

It’s Mum I feel sorry for

Takes the brunt of it all

Day in day out

Puts up with it

“It’s not about me, I’ve got to think about the kids”

Don’t get me wrong

He’d never lift a finger

I honestly think he loves us

But…

The thoughtless words

Spat our way

Funny way of showing it

We all sit down

Smile for the camera

Pretend like we’re happy

So we can put it on display

I wish that he would change

Know what’s really important

It’s not about a messy house

A light left on

A job not done

Fed up of smoothing over

Anything to avoid a fight

Tired of pretending

That everything’s all right

He goes through stages

For weeks on end he’s fine

Then he’ll go off on one of his rows

And that’s it…

I love him with all my heart
