Enough with girls who pretend
I want true love and nothing less
More than just a beneficial friend
Who I don't have to second guess

To fill a life with more than fun
Who wants a man to fill hers too
Two for serious one on one
Not a buddy for a weekend screw

I don't want a sexual slave
To follow submissive sets of rules
I'm not a king, it's love that I crave
Not a crown of tarnished jewels

No intruders on the side
Equal partners in all we do
She must hold her own against the tides
And be willing to hold mine too

Author's Note: 5/28/2011: updated after 27 years. I think I can actually move this out of the junk poems folder.
