A Version of Married Life

It's my job to put the best face on my day,
Hers to pretend she believes what I tell her.
From there, we'll move onward to dinner
And drinks, and she'll quickly shake free
Of the past and the present. She'll enter
The future and start making plans. At that
Point, I'll be by myself in the present, not
Needing to hide my despair.

Drama is all about suspension of disbelief. thats what makes it real for us. Collectively, we undertake to go down that path for a period of time. And Shakespeare also said- All the world is but a stage. Why not play along?
A thoughful and thought provoking poem, indeed

such monotony in a story that started with love
marred life or married life...?
