Please listen to me!
Will you let me have my say?
How I have kept silent all this time with resentment swirling and turning thoughts in my mind.
Playing with sentences round and round in my head.
Shall I say it this way? Or would this other way be better?
Oh, why do I wrap it up? Why can’t I just say it?
What is the matter with me? Why have I become such a wimp?
When first we wed, conversation flew, especially in bed. There was nothing we did not share; Laughs there were aplenty.
What is going wrong? Can we put it right?
Perhaps I need to say to him, “It is your turn. I will now listen to you.”
