Marriage Blues Poem by Adryan Barnathan

Baby I feel sorry
but it wasn't my fault

You treated me unfairly
then nailed me to a wall

So how can it be
all put on me
when you kept me down
so you could
have all the fun?

You smoke your weed
and meditate
then jump in the Sauna

while I made
the breakfast that you eat
then you're out the door
'gone for a surf
before work

When you come home
so refreshed
I feel like the one
who's left with a mess,
so when I speak out
You tell me,
''Don't be ungrateful
for the life that we made
'cause, life is simple pleasures
honey it's great
so I don't know why
You're so upset''

The only simple pleasure
I can see
is that ''I'm'' working to the bone
so You can have Fun!

Shopping for food
Answering calls
while you nap
says it all

I'm only here
to serve You
and that's the mistake
you threw in my face

That is how it ended
it's all true
Love can make
a fool of you

Now I'm done
with this Fun
and life is
sweeter than
I could ever dream of
'cause
''Life is Simple Pleasures
Honey, It's Great
so I don't know why
You're so upset.....
I'm only here
because of You
and now
I'm happy to the bone
and having Fun!
