Behaviour
However he did his best
it seemed never enough
she was so demanding
it nearly killed his lust
Lust for life is what he had
daily tasks where no burden
until she started bashing him
he knew he would lower
Lower himself was so easy
to veil that took some strength
than one day bells where ringing
and he knew what went on
On friday he had seen her
kissing with another man
so now he had his answer
of her behaviour the last months
