Rocks and Hard Places

Love him

but
He’s a serial dater
Every other week he is in love

All educated
All smart
All with
that
smile

on their faces

When he introduces them to me

All generous
All with substance
Kind

So excited to have him in their
lives

None know

that they are just filling in the space
Until….

The next one comes

Every conversation he tells me of how each one is

DIFFERENT

I always respond

“No really?”

But I also remind him that each of them have a commonality.

They have fallen victim to his games
His indecisiveness
His search

for
that perfect women

The ones I personally

deem

perfect

for him are the ones

He

Runs from

Because

they expect him to maintain
the image he portrayed

Initially

He perceives it as
Clingy

and says

They require too much
of him

he fights for no relationship

and says

“Chicks are dispensable’

I ask what if someone said that about me?

He says

“They do”

I hold back tears

But we are like that

Brutally honest

with each other

The newest one
He introduced to me

Yesterday

Had tricks up her sleeve

Has lesson’s she wants to teach him

I could tell

So I asked

and

She confirmed

I wanna tell him

But the woman in me wants him to learn a lesson

Not my place to teach people

lessons on chivalry

also not my place

to save them from being

PLAYED

*Sigh

Love him

but

I gotta meditate on this one.
