As i sit here and listen to a wife who ruins my life... <br />On many an occasion i have heard her say that 'she wished she were dead'. <br />I on the other hand, wish that i was dead instead... <br />I wish that i never ever have to hear these nagging words'We can't get along'. <br />That would be a nice title of a 'song of break up of the heart'... <br />'We can't get along' song. <br />What a wonderful song... <br />'We can't get along'. <br />Now, is this fact, or is it wrong? ... <br />My wife and i fight like cats and dogs. <br />Same old, same old, silly love not silly of songs... <br />Not a day goes by that my heart seems to suffer with aches and breaks. <br />She is choking away my quest for life... <br />Why not, after all-She is my darling, giving, smart-assed wife.<br /><br />Michael Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-said-to-me-i-wished-i-were-dead-i-said-in-reply-i-wished-it-were-me-instead/
