You visited yesterday
First time in ages I had seen you
Nothing has changed
Has it?
You are not as good as me.
I have more material wealth than you’ll ever have.
My husband is a better man than you’ll ever be.
I was chief judge today.
We save lots of money
We build things to show for it.
We went on a trip
We are planning a trip
I’d do this to your house.
That is worthless
This is something.
Where’s the dinner set?
It’s worth thousands
Your sister? Trust her.
Your portrait makes you look so old.
Where’s the vase I gave your mother?
Huh……incompetent.
I watched as you sneered at what I own
You derided what I have
You ridiculed
You tried to humiliate.
Your stocks in trade
Don’t work anymore
Like water off a ducks back
I laugh at who you are.
For all your attempts
As futile as they are
To white ant what I am
You underestimate the real me.
Love wins out every time
If squashes your very desire
To put down the man I am.
I will always be triumphant.

Can this person leave & not come back?
You always do such a great job with the prompts! 🙂
Well thankfully RoSy she did leave and she may not come back as it very rare to see her, it was my sons birthday yesterday so hence she came to see him and wanted a little ‘chat’. It’s what I was married to once.
Eeeekkkk- Did I just insert foot in mouth?
Happy birthday & many more to your son. 🙂
All is good RoSy, I am sure he has a few left yet.
Oh my what a terrible person…seems the prompt came up at the right moment, you certainly had more to inspire than just a word! I like how yu put the poem together…too bad for the lousy visit though!
Thanks Georgia, just a fact of life for me but one that doesn’t impact on me anymore.
Good, the nice thing about moving on, you can look back and see things in the right perspective. I’m happy for you. 🙂
Yikes Michael his person must have been a challenge. I had an uncle who married a wealthy debutante and his family was very much like what you’ve described. I remember I was showing my cousin (his daughter) wedding photos and she was whispering to my aunt/her mother how fat and ugly I was loud enough that I could hear. My uncle rarely came to visit sometimes on holidays and he would degrade my mother/his sister in front of her friends and the rest of our family. He’d say she was doing a bad job taking care of their mother letting her live in our dirty house but he refused to help in any way with his mother’s care. He didn’t even bother to visit his mother when she was dying because he didn’t want to interrupt his vacation. A difficult man to be sure.
There’s a lot of truth Yves in the old saying you can’t pick your family, though in this case I did marry her, then found out the true her. Sad that she still behaves this way, but as I say, I did emerge triumphant. Thanks so much for your comment.
I am glad you are happy now Michael I can honestly you deserve better
Well I’m working on it Yves. Life is looking up.
=) I am sending you lots of positive vibes
Thank you. For an aging man I am doing pretty well.
=) I am most pleased to hear that
A very unpleasant person to be sure. Whoa, and you were probably the nice gentleman you are despite her. Lots of emotions in this Michael. Glad you don’t see her often.
Thanks Jackie yes so am I.
