so he sleeps in your bed...

so he sleeps in your bed
yes, but are you warm?
and when he calls you from work
is it to say "i love you"
or to remind you to get his dry-cleaning?
do you feel his arms wrap around you
when you're out with friends,
or the stagnant air between you?
is there a heat between your thighs as he nears,
or do your thoughts turn to mindless chores?

you share his name, address, possessions,
and children, yet...
alone, you cook
alone, you care
alone, you tend
Who is there
to share?

is it not better
to cook
to care
to tend
alone or with a friend
than with a man who lays claim as a husband?
