did you know what it was that you wanted?

had he done for you what you wanted
you would have left,
the way young women in movies do
complaining to their friends
over sugary drinks with a single olive
I want a man, you know,
a guy who takes control, knows what he wants. 
he's just not that. 
had you stopped to listen to him
he would have told you
that you are my heaven
but you were more comfortable
building flimsy houses,
living on someone else's earth.
