Changing a viewpoint

My partner, disrespects me,

He leaves the house a mess

His socks are dirty on the floor

Have you seen his vest?

My partner doesn’t do his share

It really makes me hop

Often he forgets  to bring

Home something from the shop

It shows he doesn’t value me, shows such a lack of care

He doesn’t call me regularly, don’t know how, he would dare.

I don’t think he really loves me

He flirts with other girls

He says he’s being pleasant

I sneer when this occurs

I want all his attention

It’s how life should be

Although he’s really got quite boring

I am sure you would agree

I understand his motives can read him like a book

I think I need to put him down, if only with a look

Let me hold that thought, is there another way

If I change my focus, are his actions so passee

Am I seeing lack of love, showing insecurity

Are his actions aimed to hurt, be  truly nasty

Does it mean I am devalued, my minds a centrifuge

I think I am over reacting wanting things my own way

Maybe I want to change him, to what I want to see

If I change my focus find a new way to interplay

Our relationship should live ,expand get better every day

We need to talk and listen more, hold our differences at bay

Looking with another eye, I love the unique man

I should share his eye for beauty, encourage while I can

He chooses to share with me,  I should be feeling sublime

It’s not about my value, if he errs from time to time

If I change my focus, and stop carping, find a way

Our relationship should live ,expand get better every day

If I can’t see him as unique and feel happy with his feet of clay

Then I am in the wrong relationship, need to call it a day
