Men to Boys
I held you on a pedestal
Your title was irreplaceable
You were a muse left for ones confused
like me
Who didn’t know what a man should be
I came to you with my tears
And you would say "Baby they all want one thing"
What I didn't realize is that ALL
Included you too
Cheaters, Liars, Heartbreakers, and Dogs
All things I never considered you at all
Until that one day Mom sat me down said
Your dad was once the boys he dreads
He smashed a couple and lied to a few
Didn't want to think any of this was true
The man I thought was everything
Turned out to be just like Mike, Brian, and Kenny
Like damn
Could it really be so
The man I held second to god
Hurt my mom how they hurt me though
I knew from then on that cheating was a disease
An incurable sickness born into men like cancerous seeds
Now I dry my own tears away
And I accept the fact that Men
Just are not what they say
