WHAT A GIRL GOTTA DO
Flaws are flaws no matter the gender;
flaws that no eye batting can cover;
flaws having no other to fix it;
flaws that dodge incoming bandits.
A.
Easy to fall, easy to go—
someone new every tomorrow.
Never contented with just one,
with this love game, she's never done.
Their names and memories, she kept,
it's better to leave than be left.
B.
Know that what's hers is only hers—
the main girl or expect the worst.
Always reply to texts and calls
or there will be a messy brawl.
It's a must to follow her rules,
better be clingy than be fooled.
C.
Devotion is her known tattoo—
the love she feels is her sole truth.
Will stay no matter the weather,
predicaments in her whispers
Adoration blocking her view,
better to stay than start anew.
D.
Creator of unseen problems—
dilemma from something solemn
Her thoughts never leave her alone,
most of the time it takes control.
A mile of worries in one step,
it's better to doubt than regret.
E.
Her demands are the highest law—
even if it's not fair at all,
and she will not communicate.
Always be ready to translate,
there will be no efforts from her,
better to cut off than to care.
And this is why we are still waiting—
dreaming, hoping, seeking and praying.
