Men and Women Poetry: I Just Don't Understand

She tells me her troubles,

And my heart melts.

I try to tell her how to fix things,

And she starts to yell’

I WAS ONLY TRYING TO TELL YOU HOW I FELT!

She walks away,

I just don’t understand,

It’s like she wants me to be,

Some other kind of man.

I’ve put the weight of the world,

On my shoulders,

And still I endure,

So why doesn’t she want my help?

Why does she look sadder than before?

What kind of man am I,

If I can’t rescue my damsel in distress?

Maybe next time I’ll keep my mouth shut,

Because giving her solutions

Is a complete waste of breath.

Still I wish,

There was something I could do,

Because when my lady is sad,

I am too.
