I've waited like a patient housewife, waiting for her husband to get home. 

Dining table set, dress ironed, hair pressed—- standing stiffly by the door.  

A doll. 

For hours I've waited. 

Your cold shoulder only made me more desperate for your warmth.  

My beaming, phony, suburban smile is fading.
