It’s hard to keep a secret
Almost impossible to to do
Was it difficult and painful?
Was it hard for you?

That week you spent in London
A scheduled business trip
One call you made for service 
Did you need companionship?

Twenty years and three kids later
A life of harmony
No one would know, you were away
So much for loyalty. 

Outed inadvertently
A list was circulated
You made a call at least four times
Were you infatuated?

Can we try to get past this
Consider it an indiscretion?
It happened several years ago
Can I assume you learned your  lesson.

Trust I fear.…has slipped away
I thought that I knew you
If nothing else, I counted on
Your love .… constant and true. 

Don’t think I can forgive you
I can’t promise this to you
Never thought that you would be the one
Who’d  break my heart in two.

You pose, you smile , you love attention
Love it every time you’re mentioned 
The clothes, the shoes, the jewelry
Everything you get from me.

On my coat tails, in my bed
You take whatever you can get
Champagne, dinners, caviar
You tag along, you’ve come this far.

The traveling, the scenery
You get to be alone with me
My fans clamoring to hear me sing
You love the hype, you love the bling.

Like the girls that came before
In time you’ll walk right out that door
The arguing, the cold resentment 
You’ll want more of a commitment.

The prenup will soon force your hand
If you don’t sign, I understand
Can’t take a chance, I need protection
Can’t look away or make exceptions.

So adamant, so resistant
It’s Oppositional Defiance
You say “No” whenever asked
Proud of your noncompliance

You don’t like regulations
Unless telling others what to do
Abortion and contraception
Is being  governed by men like you. 

Angry and judgemental 
Vindictive, hateful and cruel
Anyone that follows you 
Has got to be a fool. 

A self professing Christian 
Straight from The Handmaid’s Tale
A hateful opportunist 
Who believes he cannot fail. 

A racist and misogynist
A dictator wanna be 
A damaged,  biased psychopath
Acting with impunity.

The two of you together
So many photographs
You wrap your arms around her
But, this will never last.

A fortune teller? No, I’m not
But, I’ve seen this all before
Give it six months to a year
And she’ll walk out the door. 

Swimming in the deep end
Always in over your head
Stop picking all the hot ones
The ones so hard to get.

A mass of warm intentions
Over takes that part of you
You’re out of touch, now mesmerized 
Can’t really think it through. 

If only you could see it
She just wants a slice of fame
A chance at notoriety
For her it’s just a game. 

The bracelets and the earrings
Back stage Dom Perignon
The limousines, the glitter
Everyone is getting stoned.

But, just like all the others
You’ll be hanging on too tight
When she decides she wants to go
You’ll beg her ….. to spend the night.

I’ll read it on your time line
Instagram and Facebook, too
Everyone will talk about it
They’ll know she walked out on you.

Whoopers, Snickers
Butterfingers
Not the same ones
That I remember. 

Now made with
High fructose syrup 
A substitute
They’ve banned in Europe. 

Just like red dye 
Number two
They’re well aware
It’s not good for you. 

High fructose
Is so very sweet
In processed foods 
And even meat. 

The FDA 
Won’t regulate
The profit’s high
Too much at stake.

Obesity
So prevalent
But, making  money
Is all they want.

He’s not afraid.

The rest of us.

This isn’t right.

To be like Putin
Has no idea
Just what he’s doing.

Watch our country
Burn and fall.

Again and again
The base believes
They listen to him.

A dictator
He wants to be
Out for himself
Why can’t you see?

Stop the madness
Stop the scam 
Stop listening to
Such a dangerous man.

We both know …. it’s not working 
You don’t always tell the truth
I doubt your credibility 
I really don’t trust you. 

I’ve tried to meet you half way
Nothing else that I can do
I’ve tried to be accepting 
Knowing all that you’ve been through.

You’re divorced, live with your parents
Five years in recovery
No career to speak of
Light years away from me. 

Saturdays we meet up
Have some dinner, no beer or wine
I’ve tried to get to know you
Ignoring all the signs. 

There’s no common ground between us
Though you have a lot to say
I find my mind wandering
My interest fades away. 

You come over, watch a movie
It’s  a routine, casual date
I count the hours till you’re gone
Hoping you won’t stay too late. 

Two weekends passed, you ghosted me
Guess you were busy ”On Line” dating
Left me here by myself
I spent the weekend waiting. 

I can’t let go of judgements
Yes, I admit …. I’m prejudice
Don’t think we have a future 
I’m afraid …. I’m tired of this.
