He calls it love working paying the bills <br />Her staying at home alone, with no skills <br />The coldness in their house, like an artic freeze <br />She tries her best to him appease <br />Day in day out with the routine <br />She stays to herself, not often seen <br />The blinds stay closed, not much light <br />Shes accepted this, it is to be her plight <br />He gets off work, comes home and watches t.v. <br />The house so quiet, just him and she <br />They go to bed, each on thier own side <br />He no longer cares to hold his bride <br />In the morning he will go back to work <br />Once again she will be alone, where bad thoughts lurk!<br /><br />Donna Nimmo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lonely-house-wife/
