PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Sometimes I wish
I married someone
more than a paper flower,
crumbling from one
cross look or word.

When I am angry
and want to lash out,
you will stare at me
with those puppy-dog eyes
and it further infuriates me.

I can't always be the one
to assure you of your worth,
and now I'm learning how
I shouldn't have expected
that from others myself.
