Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have all of this, and...
(from Passionate Kisses, Mary Chapin Carpenter)
Mary Chapin Carpenter wants passionate kisses; I want peace. I want a safe place to come home to after an exhausting long day. I want to be able to exhale when I get home. I want it to be my sanctuary, not a place of turmoil and fear. I want to be able to close the door and know that no one will harm me. I want a place with not sarcasm, mistrust or unkind words. I want my home to receive me, cradle me and comfort me.
I don't want to have to wonder during my drive home what kind of mood he-who-says-he-loves-me is in. I want to be able to speak in my home without fear that my words will be twisted and rearranged into meanings far from my original message.
I want to be able to rest peacefully and wake without fear or dread.I want a peaceful home.
Shouldn't I have this?...
You most certainly should - and will - have all this. I imagine it will be very difficult to continue living under the same roof until after Christmas. Is there an alternative?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, Cat. We either go through this train wreck over Christmas or wait until afterwards. It's supposed to be for the kids' sake, but how the kids are affected depends on how the parents behave.
DeleteYou should have this, and you deserve much more. I cannot offer much, but I send my love as always. x
