A Conversation

Are we talking?
Are we having a conversation?
Why are you doing so much explaining?
No need to justify
I mean not to deny
But I am not one who can validate either
Our time on earth
Is for our own fulfillment
This life
Our Individual assignment
Now let’s take a moment
And get to know each other
We can each take turns
Telling the other what makes our hearts burn
The things for which our soul yearns
Our spirits journey to discern
What lessons in this life we are to learn
But we just talk at each other
And try to impress one another
I’ve been there
And I’ve done that
Just last week I bought a house
Left my deadbeat spouse
Took my kids and left them without
I guess that is cool
Am I suppose to be checking things off a list?
Pro and con columns is how I should look at this?
And you?
Sorry honey that is not how I do
Honestly
When you’re talking I am hardly listening
Mostly just looking in your eyes
Reading your body language to try and decide
Do you even care what’s beneath this skin?
The places I’ve been
More importantly
Do you care what I think
Or just that I am good at a wink
And a smile
And you’re used to a different approach
Men who cannot even make a toast
Or hold your heart when it’s heavy
Stay at the house
But can’t keep the home steady
Sweetheart
If you’re ready
To get what you deserve
A man that honors and does serve
No need to pick me
For my job is for you to see
I am just a mirror
For you to see yourself
Help you learn unlimited personal wealth
Let you see
And say out loud all you want to be
I’ll be there to support
Cheer you on
And wish you well
But I probably won’t be standing next to you
Cause you never asked about me
I understood that clearly
That’s fine
I am not angry
As a guide
I am one of many
