Mother may I please ?

by Temptress

You say you want to go on with your life
and you're doing the best you can
the little boy that dwells within
the body of a full grown man

Tugging on her apron strings
hiding underneath her skirt
pouting with lower lip out
when your feelings get hurt

Never knew who you were
or what kind of man you could be
blinded by her possessive ways
you go down on bended knee

Asking for her forgiveness
whether you're right or wrong
grab those things you call nuts
stand tall,and proud,and be strong

Instead you act like a wimpy kid
the kind others make fun of
She is not your wife by any means
She can only give you motherly love

and scold you when your bad
You follow her around like a dog
and yet you want to live that life
I think it's time you move on

My life may not be perfect
but I think you will agree
I never need to turn and ask
" Mother may I please "

    It's specifically for a friend of mine who lets his wife rule the roost and he never has a say in anything , It must be terrible to live that way. I thought marriage way a give and take situation. But he brings that on himself and life is about choices right? Thank you Glen for the comment XOXOX from my heart to yours

    So did I . One in particular comes to mind. Don't know how one loses their identity once the get married always having to ask, can I do this? Can I go there? Like they don't have a mind of their own anymore. Thanks Blu for dropping in and the comment.

Great write Beckster Smile.... your words ring true of a few I know... to partner/marry is not to own, it is to join two hearts as one to grow Together not a purchase to command... It's good to see you back on active service my dear friend... look forward to more... as ever Stay safe becky...Woods..

    You are absolutely right about that and why people loose their own identity after marriage is beyond me. Your presence on my page is always a treat for the Temptress

Eeee-gads, Becky - an excellent psychological poem, in my humble opinion. I find men I know in here; in fact I must actually attract that particular type of man. I can only ask w-h-y....? I never wanted to be their Mommy. Excellent, my friend. Mary Ann

    He is a good friend of mine and it makes me so upset that he lets her treat him that way but I guess all in all he likes the " Mommy " figure otherwise he would not have married her. Thanks MA for the comment .

hmmmm reminds me of a couple of guys i know. one in particular, who goes on all macho when his wife isn't there, and when she is, all he says is " yes dear, i'll do that straight away dear....sorry dear. yes i'll put them shelves up now dear ". however in his defence, she is a terrifying woman with a voice like broken glass, and can make a man impotent just by looking at him ha ha. - whatcha been up to becky? - paul.

    I hate a man who can't hold his nuts and stand up for his rights to anything. I want my man to be a part of me but also have his own identity and freedom, so if he wants to go fishing or whatever the case may be he doesn't have to ask first . I'm trying to settle in the Boonies and get accustomed to their backward ways here but other than that doing good my friend. Scratches behind the ears and tummy rubs for you and that smelly old hound of yours XOXOXO.

Hands down, you have the biggest balls of them all, Becky. LOL! I loved this. You tell it like it is, and always deliver a punch. Your technique is not easy to imitate and is always genuine. Don't change.

Wow, what a powerful piece Becky!! I've known a few people who were like that. They would live their life in fear of their partner, and then that'll lead them to ask for permission constantly, for simple, mundane activities. It's so ridiculous. It's psychological effect within relationships..and you've captured that well in your poem. Great write, Becky!! Very Happy

wow - quite intense read here - you tell it like it is - todays world is so how do you say - confused - with so many ways to do the wrong thing - you know - relationships today are very challenged - with my space cell phones twitter accounts - people worry - and you can't blame them - one bad day an argument and one phone call or message can destroy something good - so I guess a woman wants to be careful - I don't know - but thanks for posting your thoughts - respectfully ^v^ me

    The person in the poem seems to understand things better when written and was trying to let him know you can't always be a door mat or walk on egg shells with the one you supposedly are married to. In my eyes its a give and take relationship but seem to me he was just a child in having to ask about everything.........in short people should have their own space to do things they enjoy without question or convivtion Smile thank you for the comment and truly loved your poem I commented on. XOXOXOX from my heart to yours
