MARRIED MAN. WORRIED MAN

From a distance

I thought it was a matter of chance

Perfect pair

Man.Woman. None to err

Ordained by a deity

Until death do them tear

Adam. Eve. Romeo. Juliet

Each other’s interest was made clear

To uphold and love each other

Whether foul or fair

But..

Today I live with an Eve, without any care

Not even an iota

What I saw as the perfect picture

Only a mirage like another

My Eve is a stranger

A struggling stranger strangling strength out of me

Dews of nagging

Sunshine of bragging

My interests, her dislikes

My hobbies, the cause of our fights

And..

She’s the prophet of my doom

And the reason for my wounds

The teacher of my enemies

A woman of many hubbies

Don’t ask me what she has done today, too

Ask me what she hasn’t done today

For each day is an opportunity to devise evil

I wish I may

I wish single I had stayed

And more attention I had paid

To home-bred Eves and not just home-wed ones

I wish I may

I wish low I had laid

And more attention I had paid

Not to just Saturday white events

But to friendship long lasting

Someone tell me if I was set up

Set up to be strangled by a self-styled wife of a stranger

Show me where space is

I want to go hide there

Morning is yet to break

Her anger I’ll definitely kiss

Show me where the heavens are

I want to sue the deity

Who ordained this albatross of a marriage!
