Manchildren

It's over just like that.

The flame that flickers back

and forth-- he loves the last attack.

Resentment builds; it's tit for tat.

You lose your love keeping score.

Vindictive bite.

Hearts on the floor.

Push and pull.

That tug o' war.

When he gives up,

She wants it more.

Her tears dry up.

She's in control.

He wants her back,

His woman scorned.

He begs and pleads,

Compliments and adores her,

"It's you I need."

His empty words simply bore her.

If she gives in

then what would happen

if she doesn't behave

like he imagined

her to be, so what does that mean

that he could walk 

and leave her racking

her brain, and start attacking

her self worth

and feel abandoned.

Or let go now

and send him packing.
