The Trophy Wife

The Trophy Wife

I feel stuffed like one of those prized deer heads
 That men line their walls; with doting admiration
Senselessly seething with joy at such a wondrous accomplishment
I, the trophy, belittled by the thought or the intention
As if it gives me pleasure to lower myself to being a stuffed animal
I have not the slightest wish to be an ornament for any bodies’ wall

Why then would any women want to be labeled a trophy wife?
What value could that position give except low self-esteem over time?
A value comparable to a dead animals head hanging on some hunter’s wall

Ponder that...

Hatred and resentment
Yeah, I breathe that!
Especially the night you cheated
Now you act like it’s a relief
Because you’re junks been uploaded
To a new site

…I’m about to go off!

I don’t even think you know
This wound I carry in my soul
Because your selfish night
Hurt me so and every time
I look in your sons eyes
I see just one more time
You say I’m sorry

I forgive

You make me a promise

I listen with hopeful ears

You say I love you

I shed more tears

This hurt I carry
Is because you put it there

So stop the small talk
Let’s be real

If you want to be a man
In these streets
You can get the
H e double l out of here!
