Little Boys Not Men

He said she cheated

Though there are doubts.

In fact it is probably

The other way round!

For this is a common claim

Of a cheating spouse.

You choose to be with him

Though you suspect the truth.

How desperate are you

to overlook the lies?

Desperate for "love"

or just companionship?

He blames others

for all the flaws.

Addictions, lies, anger, abuse

the list goes on and on.

How easy is it to

fall for this "man"?

Apparently very easy for some.

Those who choose

the honeymoon stage.

But it never lasts

though they refuse to believe.

In the end it always

Over in the same way.

Be prepared to be maligned and lied about.

For it will come

The end of that honeymoon.

Sometimes months, sometimes years

But never forever,

No matter how much you believe!

These "men" are out there

Preying on hopes

Destroying dreams and lives

Is their way to cope

Rather than fixing

The damage within!

Little boys, disguised as "men"

Little boys, damaged within.

Little boys, who choose not to grow.

Little boys, looking for mothers.

Until they decide they need another!
