If you ask her
she'll tell you that he's the one
He is everything they
I mean she
ever dreamed of
he is the prefect gentlemen
opens doors
walks her on the inside of the curb
cooks delicious home cooked meals
treats her with respect
expresses himself
the only man she's ever known to be so in touch with his feelings
he listens
helps in times of need
he is her best friend
he has such a brilliant mind
positive energy
a powerful presence
he is gifted
blessed with many talents
he is responsible
charming
funny
honest
hard-working
caring
compassionate
strong
witty
everything a girl could want in a man
he is different
so she thinks
he is special
so she believes
he is her husband
soulmate
the man for which
she is the missing rib
except
this is who he is
to all of them
I mean her
he is everything they
I mean she says he is
he is beautifully broken into enough pieces
for all of them
I mean for her to share
ripped into delicate fragments
for them to feel
I mean for her to feel as though their love is exclusive
to dismiss the ugly truths
to be selfish
with the little she possesses
to convince herself that the very small pieces she's chosen to keep
is enough
enough for them
until
the time comes for him
to show up
but he won’t
he won’t be able to pull himself together
to be present
his unwillingness to become whole
will leave a hole wide enough
for them
I mean for her to fall
it will be become clear at that moment
it’s not enough of him to hold on
the only way to have all of him
is to go knocking on women’s doors
to gather the parts she does not own
and they’ll resist
in their minds he belongs to all of them
they’ll
I mean she’ll settle
they are accustomed to scraps
even dogs eat the crumbs from the table
and like strays
she believes that by meeting his needs
the rest of him will follow
till they
I mean she found out
he was one of Pavlov’s
he is hard-wired to salivate
to any being willing to stimulate
he is sure to be a good dog
as long as they
I mean she was willing to meet his conditions
and sadly
they
I mean, she now breeds to feel wanted
