I make too many assumptions
Which never work out
Maybe mixed presumptions
Ending in retreat and a rout
Putting everything into one thing
All my energy and emotions
For a yearlong romantic fling
Going through all the motions
The regular dating routines
And a few extra duties
Including helping to clean
Anything for my beauties
I became a caregiver
Helping out with carpools
Even cleaning the silver
Anything for my jewels
I taught after school
Doing weekly reading by committee
Helping enforce the daily rules
Anything for my pretties
Little physical chores
Picking up and putting up the plates
Even cleaning out drawers
Anything for my playmates
But in the long run
It does not matter
All is undone
A gigantic shatter
We break apart
Because there is no solution
The same problem from the start
A matter of the heart
Not really love
Honor and cherish
More push and shove
Close to nightmarish
Warning signs are there
I was a dope
Our relationship not fair
A sense of false hope
Hope for a friend
Hope for a companion
Hope for a sweetheart
Hope for love
I wanted it too much
I would do anything
For someone to touch
For a body to cling
Not her fault
I made the choice
Not to halt
And use my voice
To communicate
My feelings
Accepting my fate
In all my dealings
Be honest and straight
Stick to the facts
Open the floodgate
And brace for the impacts
Ready to walk away
Be courageous and strong
Do not waver and sway
If it is wrong
Too petrified and afraid
To face reality
Disheartened and dismayed
To fight and disagree
Who wants confrontation
And to dissension
Leading to castration
And no more attention
But sooner or later
All will come to an end
Bowing to a dictator
Instead of being a friend
Friends listen
Do not judge
Or create divisions
Stonewall without a budge
Who am I talking to
But only to me
I cannot change a view
From another who is free
