Poem for the In Laws

Posted by Tanzanite on February 26, 2006, at 18:27:40

Your fake kindness, your crooked smiles
Your petty selves, I have tried all the while
Yet you are traitorous, befriending the enemy
You should be befriending me, not she
The ex wife who broke your son's and brother's heart
The one who cheated and ripped his life apart
The one who never loved him and has abused us
So obviously hurt, mangled and used us.

What is your problem, can't you see the pain
It causes me, but what is your gain
Your lies, your halfhearted sentiments
I guess loyalty long ago was spent.

I may be emotional, and maybe have foolish pride
But I am a better person inside
Mother in law I called you ma from time to time
You made me feel like I committed a crime.
Saying don't be offended, but it makes you think
I think you are a hillbilly though your hubby drinks.

I don't even want to see any one of you right now
So I sit at home, and I don't know how
My dear husband can stand to put up with charades
I guess it was the game you all have played.

I don't like games like this
If I could I would blow you a goodbye kiss
And move us 2000 miles away
But because of the stepdaughter I will stay.

If not for her and my dear husband
We may have turned into vagabonds
Better than to be tied to a cruel joke
With family that backstabs the kindred folk.

SO , right now I am hurt, and very mad
And for how long who knows I shall be sad
But this is for you, you rogue inlaws
I have always seen through you, I always saw.

Regretfully your inlaw,
Just ME
