What do you think this poem is about?

Who Lied To You?

Just because
he has sex with you
does not mean he
loves you.

Just because
he pays attention to you
does not mean
he's getting ready
to pick out a ring.

Just because
he begs you to
make his dinner
and treats you like
his maid.
Does not mean
you have to act
like one.

Just because
you did not have
the... wherewithall
to understand all of this

does not make it everyone else's fault.

    Noemi, interesting twist on the end... we do have a tendancy to blame others instead of admitting our own faults. Good write!
