Empty

Empty promises and

More empty apologies

I have accepted from you

In our married years together.

I have grown used to it now

As I have grown used to you.

It's amazing what you

Can grow used to.

Your bullshit excuses and rationalization,

Your ways and manners or the lacking there of.

I have long ago stopped asking why

And just go on day to day

Hoping and praying and

Trying to live and enjoy life

As I, we, may.

Is It Our Women Or Us?

My brother and I,

Why do we have to attract

All the crazy ones?

What is it about us that appeals

Or entices the women with

All the emotional baggage and personal issues?

Why our choices in our intimate relationships?

Are my brother and I sending out

Some kind of an overt signal

Pulling these women to us?

Mom and even Dad can smell them

Out, but too late for us.

What is it with our women - or us?
