DIFFICULT DAYS

She wore a long, plain dress to the office today,
and a light green sweater
that matched her perfect eyes…
Irresistible in her girlish things
she has me thinking about holding her again,
which is a mistake
because she’s wearing those pretty clothes for someone else.
For some other guy
who tonight,
right about the time I’m broke down and crying into my pillow,
will be helping her take that dress off.


Rhett Akins
"That Aint my Truck"

(I am not sure how to work all of this attach and embedd stuff, so I emailed it to you.)

This song and poem connect together because they are both discussing the disappointing and upsetting feelings of being in love with a woman and seeing that she in with another man. This poem is very emotional and sad; the writer sees that the love of his life is in love with another man and there is nothing he can do about it. In this song, singer Rhett Akins sings about when he found his love with another man behind his back. He drives past her house and sees a truck in the driveway that "aint his truck". This song is very sad and expresses his disappointment when he sees his girl with another man.
