Don't Need a Damn Holiday

Now I don’t use the ‘L’ word,
‘cause my old man never did.
And I ain’t much for huggin’
since I didn’t as a kid.

And hell no I don’t cry none –
that just idn’t for real men.
Don’t talk about my feelin’s much
‘cept for now and then.

Can’t say I’ve ever 'cuddled',
and don’t think I’d care to.
I don’t give out no compliments,
and don’t need none from you.

But you know where my heart’s at
when you look me in the eye.
To the only woman who’s seen my soul:
I’m yours until I die.

  1. I have no criticism on this poem. So I am really stopping just to tell you how talented I think you are. I love that you have the ability to think of an idea and write it. (newlyweds, old couple, kid missing school.) You have a way of taking any subject and turning it into a beautiful piece of work. I love it! Good Job!
