reciprocity

i've provided many a man
and even boy
with praise and attention
i've given my whole free time
to spending it cutely in a kitchen
i've raised others babies
i've baked cakes,
special brownies
and i've rearranged
i've organized
and cleaned
i've planted herbs
and bought weed
i've done all the things a woman can do
and what i've learned from that
is that it's never about you
this is MY show,
it's for my entertainment
and i'll play the role
until i feel i'm not paid enough
and by paid i mean in love
compliments
and hugs
the look in your eyes
that eliminates my size
the way you tell me how you feel
and i can see you really mean it
because your genuine declarations
of frequent sexual provocations
if i turn you on
you'll let me know
and if you do it back
you'll stay on my show
i need to be eaten and adored
like when your done but still want more
so don't give your minimal effort
this is too fine a fucking catch
i won't stay in your life forever
if all you bring me is mess
i'm not perfect
no one is
but don't disrespect me
and think i'll still raise your kids
i do a fabulous job at what women should do
so, all i ask is that you tell me
and i'll delightfully continue to
