                                          he was confusedbut didnt mind

confusion is like underwear

                                   wore unseen

it actually   notreally wasnt his

                                          hers

nothing wrong with thatwhen she left she was strivingstriking out for herself

                                                                                   make her mark

                                                                                       found

making marks wasnt easy

                                unfortunately

                                 particularly

for women

              harder

       for attractive women

          who are bright

men want to paw

 women resent

when she left he didnt say

he had no intentions of discouraging her

she had tools

shed learn patience

when they came together he couldnt wait to hear of those who crossed her

 

he had learned patience
