Double-Standard for Two : Relationships

written by Poet : EC


"Behave," he said and of course I didn't
why should I?

In reality he wanted me to misbehave
not that I feel misbehaving is what I do when I do it
but interpreting what he says I have to shake my head
stupid darling, doesn't know the lack of logic in sexist love
that takes a woman, she has to be wise
to be the butt of the double-standard takes insight
however, to give in to its nonsense is demeaning

As I kiss him hungrily I smile
my hands travelling all over him
