I know blokes wind
Up their girlfriends, wives and partners.
Fred had an attachment issue.
He would say : Love you,
Even though you used to be a man.
I added the past life,
To avoid misinterpretation
As it would detract
A reader from the issue at hand.
I love you, pill head
And yes he really
Did do a Stephen King
And say...tam pee...head .
Boys never did
That in my primary school
So to hear it from a man?
If I was stressed
I would say he was full of it.
Can you blame me?
Used to be a man?
That is plain strange.
My brother and dad
Use pet names
Like doll and hen
As a wind up.
Fred acted like
A complete a^sehole.
He would say : hunny bunny
Or are you a jungle bunny?
He would throw
His head back and laugh.
I WILL leave, I said.
I should not have
To accept this treatment.
And he would say,
I needed help.
I was a better
Person after my breakdown.
I was conscientious
And more patient.
Fred would not
Go to couples counselling
Because he knew
That he was wrong.
