dependant woman-
all of you:
your need exhausts me!
like all the others,
draining my passion
my energy
my love
my beautiful independance
your need suffocates me
you crush me under your weight of desperate togetherness
you had barbie
she needed all her stuff,
but most of all ken
and i had g.i.joe
and he didn’t need anything
just his adventures and freedom
wake up, woman! you don’t need me to be happy,
you just love me very much,
and i you, almost every bit of you, love,
but not the dependance.
understand this:
you don’t create my happiness, you increase it,
my natural zest is inside, solid
learn that for yourself
you could be so beautiful, so regal
if you found a way to throw away
those fucking manacles,
and love you, without me.
then, finally, you would have all of me,
and i do so want it to be you,
my precious tangerine.
