Frank Sinatra-ism
I know you mean well
I really do
but goddamn
everything I do doesn't require
your "expertise"
do you enjoy being a nag
or is it hereditary?
your mouth all mighty tongue everlasting
can be such a drag at times
makes me wonder if you were always
an old hag in disguise looking for
someone you can henpeck
into an early grave
you met me being me
being free
it was my sovereignty
that made you wet...made you sweat
or did you forget?
you want me spontaneous
you want my masculine in the raw...
exuberant...exhilarating
then stop being such a damn
control freak and enjoy the way my freak speaks
to you..through you
feel and luxuriate in how i renew you
just know baby
i'm not trying to own you
so don't try to own me
we are not possessions property or prizes
to be won or lost
there's a heavy cost associated
with such beliefs
so let us just hone and cultivate this
extravagant context of you and I
where our two wholes overlap in this game of life
I chose you for a reason
your rational can't be too far off from mine
so don't ever overthink me baby
you doin too much
don't try to change me and frame me into
your idealistic views
now that you think you 'got me'
cuz trust me, all my passion and affection for you
can come to a screeching halt
if you keep getting on my nerves
it will serve you well to know
when to practice the art of silence
it really can be golden
and there are certain things that i will always
go about in my own way because
I am my own man not your yes man
you can either accept that or
just keep it pushin
cuz my life was pretty cool before
you got here so all I have to do is press rewind
and pick up where I left off
I really do
but goddamn
everything I do doesn't require

Cool flow & expression. And silence is golden. You can't change people you can only change yourself and your reactions.
I always look forward to your poems.
Peace- Debbie 🤗

With Debbie,
Sinatra was a cool lead, I like the jazzy vibe and the underlying anger under the invitation and warning. Telling someone to back up and check themselves is hard, and you did it in a cool way.
Also? Why the fuck does everyone change when it becomes a thing?! Urg!
Good writing my friend
You not doin too much.
