what she wants

it is violence and fear that makes true love

She needed a real man

to her he must rule with a strong hand

he must possess a cold heart

he must always have violence  in his mind

he must protect her at all costs

he must be willing to die for her

he must be willing to kill for her

this is a real man

I am a lover of peace

I wish for peace

I hope for peace

I crave peace

I am a gentle man

I have a warm heart

I have hands that are willing to help

I hate violence

my mind is always filled with thoughts of love

She thinks I am a wimp

she calls me a coward

she says she loves

but she cannot be with a man like me

My love is never ending

she sees that as a weakness

she can only love a man

who treats her with disdain

She doesn't want romance

or flowers or gifts

She wants bruises and wounds

that really shows a man loves her

When she is lying in her grave

maybe then will she know

true love......

Its hard to believe some women don't mind being treated like less than what they are. Your closing line brings it all into focus.
