Like Me

"God, I really wish she talked like you,

dressed like you;

how do I get her to think like you do?"

Policing her to be like me will never serve you

because the one who does me best, is me.

Be truthful with yourself,

when you ask her to behave like this,

do you dream of me?

You cannot easily transpose my image onto your lover,

because no one else loves like me,

talks like me,

dresses like me,

can transfix in your mind like me.

Do you love her like you love me?

Does she know the blueprint you use to mold her from?

Could she handle knowing what I know?
