And I Thought You Would Ask Me to Leave

We would have never expected this but it is true. Men learn from us.

So I bear the brunt of the things that I have said, because you like me want to feign bitter indifference. It’s a very masculine thing. I learnt it from a very bitter woman.

And my confidence is all mine. You didn’t push me out of the door or trample all over me.

My self is intact because you didn’t, thank God you didn’t demolish me with the power of your tongue. You just refused to talk to me.

We still encircle each other.
