A Good Man

She wanted a good man "Well", I said, "here I am", And a man who is strong and able I said, "I am always there and stable". And a man one who is emotionally happy "Well", "look at me", "I'm never crappy", And one who is financially secure "Mmmm", "I think", "I was destined for her". She wanted a man who wasn't in debt And about bills or finances he never did fret, She wanted a man who would always put her first And a man without a violent outburst. She wanted a man who laughed and joked And one who would protect her if she was provoked, And a man who would treat her as a precious gem Because, she belonged to him. She wanted a man who would make her proud By holding her hand in any crowd, And a man who would get her anything Even a wedding ring. She wanted a man who she could brag about proudly And one who she could boast about loudly, A man who would always want her at his side Not the one who would take her to hide. I smiled as I thought it was me that she was talking about I raised my arms as I began to flout, Then she said, "she didn't care if her he emotionally or physically abused" I then walked away, not amused.
