They Hide

They try to hide behind kind words and soft smiles.
They try to hide behind pleasing excuses they come up with right in time.
They try to hide behind cheesy pick up lines and lies that confuse us daily.
They try to hide from using contraceptives and yet don't want the babies.
They try to hide behind cheap gifts bought at the last minute and the pointless conversations of the future that are never finished.
They try to hide from deep love and mentions of a long term thing.
They try to hide from getting serious and eventually buying a ring.
Women like me stick around for this, they put up with this, they long for a change that is never coming.
They long for a change that will not matter in the end.
They long for a change that never happens in men.
