Swerve

setting boundaries...accepting disrespectful behavior no longer

 

 

Your talk / fanciful view of a famous future

while you puff, puff your days, weeks, years / lifetime away

your intensity /your anger / your disrespect

 

Some of your negativity will simmer in the crock-pot of my mind

Your behavior, misogynistic ways, gave me the equivalent of food poisoning

 

As we osculated

lips meeting / hands grasping

one would feed, the other eat

You took the role of hunter / I, the doe-eyed girl

Of course, it’s natural for a predator to lure with food

It’s natural for a fawn to graze

 

Though you never anticipated the prey to dodge your bullets

with such exquisite precision"did you?

 

I can be lured / I need to eat / but,

I can’t be caught / and I won’t cower

When an aggressive voice rants, I might whimper / a few times

It’s a deceptive trait I’ve polished / like chipmunks who play dead

I allow you to prove yourself to be a good human  / not one who wishes me harm

A human who’s been wronged / but trying to make right

 

I silently observe your actions / your reactions / while

I remain calm

 

After repeat scenarios, however, where the trap gets set

starts to close with a gnarly bite / when I approach with diminutive grandeur

carrying flowers /delivering rose petal baths

driving Mr. Dickweed

My prowess flourishes / my lion’s mane stands proud

 

I am a shape shifter

 

and I don’t f**k around.

 

I don’t f**k around with humans / messing with my time on this earth

my peace / my energy / because

I need it

to protect what I know to be good and true

 

I won’t attack / but,

I’ll demonstrate with my assertive strength

there is no room for your aggressive approach

in my lair

 

I tell you to get out / get movin’

beyond my space

with my mouth / with my eyes

to let you witness my transformation

 

Cuz you see...just because you were left to raise yourself in the wild

doesn’t give you license to prey upon the innocent

 

Did you miss out on the lesson
“You catch more bees with honey?”

 

So, here it is...you may think it all started with a Cherry

but, it ends at Cherry

 

You spray me with I Love You’s, but like my girl Joyce says....

you are one of those who’s “talking loud, but saying nothing”

 

and I...

I am one of those who wants a man who drinks water

walks the good walk / and

 

 

recognizes a good catch when he sees it
