Indeed, you must have a wife at home
We only talk when you're outside - alone
You've never extended an offer to invite me over
The dinners and you coming to mine are fine - but
We only talk when you're outside - alone
Often, you tell me my feelings are baseless
The dinners and you coming to mine are fine - but
Love is silly and also blind. Still, that soft voice nags
Often, you tell me my feelings are baseless
I lie back, letting you convince me without evidence
Love is silly and also blind. Still, that soft voice nags
But - I've been single too long. I'll put up even when it's wrong
I lie back, letting you convince me without evidence
You've never extended an offer to invite me over
But - I've been single too long. I'll put up even when it's wrong
Indeed, you must have a wife at home
Given my dating experiences, I should have written this sooner. 🙂

Very well written . 🙂
Thank you very much! 😊
Samantha, good title. Your poem fell together so well. I could almost see it as song lyrics. These things happen, and probably more often than anyone would like to acknowledge.
Thank you! Your comment on song writing makes me smile, it’s on my list of things to do! 😍
You’re very welcome, and I hope you do!
So well written, and that nagging feeling that something is wrong really works so well with the repetitions in the form.
Thank you, Björn! 🙂
A sad situation, poetically conveyed. I feel bad for this person, and I hope she finds someone better. Thank you for writing to the prompt!
My pleasure! 🙂 Thank you again for supplying the prompt.
