An Instruction Manual For Your Woman When She’s Had A Hard Day

Be her perfect shoulder to cry on

By Colleen Millsteed Published 4 years ago 1 min read

Your woman walks in the door

After a hard day,

How you react

Will help her be okay.

***

She’s often just looking for an ear

A strong shoulder for her tears,

Hold her close, don’t say a word

Listen to her fears.

***

You don’t need the answers

She doesn’t expect you to know,

She doesn’t need it fixed

Just your shoulder when she’s low.

***

Listen to her talk

Let her cry,

Gently rub her back

While she tells you why.

***

Listen to the lyrics

On this Cooper Alan song,

He explains it perfectly

So you don’t get it wrong.

***

She too will return the favour

On your hard won days,

Lay your head on her shoulder

And she’ll listen in the same way.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
