Soemthing for ME

MEN!
That’s all I could say
I really don’t understand how someone can promise to have and to hold, to care for and to cherish for someone till death does them part only for one person to renege on that promise and well, show you they don’t give a hoot what happens to you
And still we love them
Well, they say as much about us and they still love us too
BUT I ask – is it really love or it’s now just a living relationship
The love is gone and what’s left is that certificate on the wall or tucked in some file or safe somewhere that still binds you to that other person
Actually I see many do it for the kids and society at large
I was upset to say the least about how a husband treated their wife the other day
It just was not right
I suppose in his rage he never thought about tomorrow
That’s one thing couples many times forget about
TOMORROW
Tomorrow we will be seen together again in society together as a couple
Tomorrow I still have to go to work
Tomorrow I still have to face people who were the audience when we had our fight
That may sound like shielding the reality from the world
I believe it’s protecting the one you love from the world
There are some things that are best known by the two of us only
Friends, workmates, school mates, the congregation etc do not need to know some of the stuff that happens between the two of us
But men being men just have to be seen and heard
I really wonder how they live with themselves after dressing down their partner in public
I have to admit the dressing down in public is also common to women
Women do it to their husbands too
I think for women it’s a power/control thing
But I digress, I’m going on about men in this post
So as I drove home I couldn’t help turning up the volume when Toni’s song Let it flow came on
I truly believe that at some point one has to let go
I know it’s not easy but sometimes it has to be done
Yes, there are years and history and kids and all the other stuff, but girl you need peace
Will you believe it that the next song I chose to stop on was Michal learns to rock’s breaking my heart
Okay, okay, I scrolled to it coz that’s just the kind of music I felt would soften my heart
I was that irked by that situation
The song that got me home was Mary J’s take me as I am
The song I then said I’ll start on the next day back to work was still Mary J’s Enough crying
Well, the next day I wasn’t so vengeful so I just took it nice and slow.
But when the song came up I couldn’t help pumping up the volume
You just have to take a stand- sometimes
Not all the time.
I think I'll be enjoying myself with the girls this weekend at Mary J's show

Sister's sometims just need to take a stand:)
