NaPoWriMo - 28

... barrel-scrapin time tonight, I'm afraid! This is completely off the cuff... :)) xx


Such an unhappy relationship;
they were both so different –
one always speaking,
the other quietly attentive,
tuned in.

“Have you even been listening?”
she berated;
“Silence is not what I said!”

There was no answer he could give,
so ended the impossible match:

the short-lived marriage
of Mouth and Ear.

...perhaps it was more than a lack of communication. I mean, just how would that mouth go about smooching her ear?

This is why I am a divorced woman! I got tired of talking to myself all the time, so now I can say anything I want and no one gives a darn!

Good one!

Much peace, love, and light,

Must admit there is that one stanza in there that sounds like a conversation my hubby and I occasionally have... hee, hee... me, talking and him... always preferring to listen, but me...reminding him that silence isn't really always the best answer... & asking him to please say something so I can listen too. :~)

Please tell me I'm not alone... :~)

HAHA, you're scraping of the barrel is higher than many attain.
But this site is for everyone no-matter where they are at.

That said. My folks have been married 60 years and this could be mum talking to dad. lol.

However, this I feel is deeper and says much about many living dead relationships. Where they hold on, to born, wed, bred, dead kinda sleep-walking never talking marriage to the grave. Dark and stark. x
