Torture & Triumph
Monologue To A Married Man



David-Matthew Barnes





I bet you work in a fancy office

With real plants and a gorgeous view of the city

You probably give all the girls a little pat

Every now and then

So no one suspects anything about you

At Christmas, you give them all boxes of candy

Truffles, probably

White chocolate or pink champagne

They can't wait to dance with you at the office parties - shake your hands

Because they adore you, they worship you

Especially the wives

But you refuse politely, don't you

Because you are a married man

And doesn't your wife look lovely tonight

And I bet - when she comes home from her little

Weekend getaway

And she's hugging you and she's kissing you

Because she missed you so much

It won't be her you're touching

It won't be her you're kissing

And it won't be her that you're thinking about

It'll be me

And I will tell you why,

and this is so sad

Because you - you are nothing but a coward

And I am nothing to you

But a tool for your imagination.
