She washes
She cooks
She cleans
She nurses
She stifles the screams
He sleeps
He watches
He texts
He ignores the pleas
She scrubs
She rubs
She loves
She curses
She wishes for different
He relaxes
He plays
He creates
He works to provide
She cries
She sighs
She stops
She Lies
She makes up excuses
He remains…oblivious
– Shelly-Ann Daley
