disappointment hit like a single brick to my face
the trouble is trying to tell if it would have hurt
worse had i not known it was coming.

Good Christian Woman
poetryHe’ll stop every time and
hold the door while you
carry in your groceries.
And you’ll smile
and he’ll smile
and you’ll have a short chat
about the weather,
which neither of you know anything
about
but both of you have
a pretty good idea
that it’s not going to
be so great this week.
And you’ll laugh
and he’ll laugh
and you’ll go your separate ways,
Reluctantly, he
Necessarily, you
And he’ll just wish you wern’t a good Christian woman,
so he wouldn’t feel so bad about
feeling so badly about you
