“strong women”
11/17/17
he said he liked
strong women
and was
sensitive
whenever you would cry
he’d make sure you knew
that it hurt his feelings
too
strong
like his coffee
contained in his cup
devoured in seconds
drinkable
strong
but
palatable
he wasn’t like the other
boys
you see
he’s sensitive
he understands your anxiety
also gives him feelings
you’ll know
because he’ll tell you

his exes are all crazy
but they were strong too
but not like you
you’re kind of “dyke-y”
he can say that because
he loves bi women
he prefers bi women
he’ll do everything to break you
because you can take it
because he is weak
so weak he can’t be alone
so he finds other strong women
when you’re not home
but these women look like
girls
these women eat like
squirrels
they can consent

legally
he’s not looking for a fight
he’s sensitive
don’t yell at him
he frightens easily
he’s weak
but you’re strong
so strong
so strong he can’t look at you
and will leave you alone
in a room
to sort out your problems
with a loaded gun
women problems
strong women problems
caused by his weakness
hidden by his meekness
and once you’re broken
you wind up in the bin
with the other
strong women
discarded
so he can find the next one
who is too strong for him
but pliable
one drawn to his
weakness he uses as a cover
for the parasite that
survives
on the strength of others
he said he likes
strong women
but every woman was stronger
than him
but he really likes
girls with a soft spot
for helplessness
young girls
who don’t know that men
who have to say they like
strong women
are the weakest of boys
