I am a Real woman

 

So what did it take for you to stand there and raise your voice in front of my co-workers because you didn’t like something I said to you in private?  

  You don’t really know a real woman when you have one do you?  You went from missing me to dissing me in front of everyone, all within 24 hours. 

 

I was so embarrassed when you did that…tough guy.

   I’m a real woman.  A real woman doesn’t like being treated unkindly in front of people, especially when she doesn’t treat you that way.

    I am a real woman.  I like to be held at night when we’re alone.  I like strong arms around me. 

I like for you to respond to my conversation with you, not answer with some totally random words that have nothing to do with what I just said.

 You hover inside your world ignoring me while I stay here isolated and  trapped by my own wedding vows. 

    I am a real woman.   I didn’t change when you married me.  Last night when we were outside shivering, waiting for someone and we couldn’t get jackets or anything to keep us warm, a real man would have very intentionally wrapped his arms around his woman to keep her warm. 

 See that’s what i mean about you…  you don’t know how to even begin, to even be AWARE of how to love me… 

 

 

 

    “I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you”

I’m always missing something in my life…
