The Reduction of This Woman I Once Knew

He says you're beautiful
in his your hands he holds
and you fall for his lies
never wanting to know he's empty inside

Boy girl has been a controversy since way back.
When from the time God pulled Eve out of Adam until now when
Adam runs from Eve to Steve for comfort.
Her emotional ties are stronger than his and so with
eyes closed and ears clogged she stumbles along, her
hands outstretched, and miracuoulsy he's always out of reach.
You see she thinks she has been made for him to love her
and her kind alone but silently he struggles
to pull away from what they teach.
It's just a phase. 'it's just a phase' you say to all the
gawkers and observers who've come to talk to you with
their faces behind hands- cruel intentions behind hands is
what you think of it and continue to walk with him at the
distance he allows; holding on to the little he gives.
No one is there to rock her little insecureties away so
she falls for him in every possible way,
pulling him around her like a rough wool blanket on the
rainest of days.
The years pass and she thinks it's time to start a
family so she leaves him hints both weekly and annually and tries to
bring him around both mentally and sexually.
Yet you've allowed him to block you out in those same years passed
and those sexual advances exite not the reciever but you
and you alone.
She's condoned to let him break away and become his own
man, too much of his own man and
soon she realizes it only just a her, he's been gone
for a while now.
'I won't break away',
so you say yet you say and keep on saying
until it has reduced you
'reduction'
I told you
'no you didn't'
I warned you
'no you haven't'
Yes I have and don't correct me. You called it cruel intentions way back then-
'whatever'.
And so she slumps to less than a woman, the woman
she wanted to be as a child reduced by a man, who
when given freedom, took it and ran as fast as he could.
Poor girl didn't want to keep up and now she's running
to Eve and Eve is running the other way
(After Steve:trying to kill him)
cause he's taken away the only man she's ever loved
the one she was promised,
made for,
made her complete.
