a poem on International Women’s Day

Breaking Women’s Hearts…a misogynist at heart?

 

In my teens I guess, it was my mother’s,

as I got baptized, in the wrong church.

In my early twenties, probably my Gran,

as I married a city girl, who kicked with the other foot.

In my mid thirties- an all grown up- it was my wife,

as finally I just had to tell her I was gay.

In my forties it was my friend and colleague,

as sadly I had to have her sacked.

I’m no misogynist… just a man;

Who has had his heart broken too, by other men!
