women like puppets and men like puppeteers

by Emily Davidson

if one was to filter
the different kinds of women
you'd find yourself with
those who aim to please
and those who refuse to do so.
but what i tell the girls
from either group
is as follows:
men will drink you up when they're thirsty
and spit you out if you're not sweet enough

hm. strong stuff, and very thought provoking. i want to disagree with you, or rather, i wish i could, but i can't really. do women do the same to men or is it really just a male thing? thank you for giving food for thought, and congratulations on POTD. :)

You are very talented. I enjoyed your library to no end. Congratulations on POTD, Emily.
