She has become a fire breathing dragon,

stay away from my gold

it might be a little

but it’s mine.

She looks at all the hunters and thinks

what makes you think

you deserve my gold?

It’s funny how you  think

you can exploit a good, kind, loving person.

I watch you trying all the time

trying to get people to give everything to you

while you give nothing back.

You wonder why people are resistant to you,

and fight back the only way they know how.

You keep trying

thinking exploiting others makes you a winner.

The sad thing is the good, loving, kind person

starts to think they’re a loser- when they really aren’t.

I watch how you treat people

and I’m not sure why you think you’re behaviour

is justified

when it really isn’t.

Around the talk of children

he looks meaningfully at you.

Every one at the table notices and mentions it.

You tell me how he was the perfect house husband

while you were at work last week,

I already see how much in love you are with him.

How I envy you that.

Someone who wants to grow and build with you.

Your dreams of a husband and family will take off,

because he wants that too.

We all see it.

I have always wanted something like that too,

its the only way dreams can come true.

You tell me you don’t want a romantic relationship

You tell me you don’t want someone to try and change you

You tell me you think you’re bad at relationships.

And I think- you really don’t know me at all.

I think having sex is a type of  romantic relationship,

I think you’ll change either way, with or without me- I don’t control that.

I think you failed once and think thats all you can do.

But then again I still don’t really know you.

At the bus stop

comes a man with his cap on backwards

his knuckles have tattoos

as does his hands, the back of his leg,

inside of his arm,

he carries his speaker on loud

with its hip hop rap

he wears broad shorts and white tee,

but his shoes and bags hint at money.

He’s mid 40’s.

Are you trying to live up to a aesthetic?

do you think looking like a gangsta will make you one?
