AS A MAN SEES A WOMAN

It’s a pity

It’s a pity that you see me as a woman

It is a grave pity that you see me as a woman

And see yourself as a woman

I wish that you could think of me as a man

In your womanly mind

I wish you can change your mind and see me rightly as a woman

In the mind of a man

And not see me as a woman sees a woman

I wish we were in the 12th century

Where people knew no attraction of sameness

Where what is on you attracted you not on others

I lament in vain

I cry in vain

Because some societies back you

Though I respect your decision

I loathe your trait that attracts me 

Let us part here

Your way being right and my way being right

Let’s bury this wound cowardly

By seeing the last of eachother from today.
