When she is humble, he wants a savage.
When she's savage, he wants a lady.
When he clings, she pushes him away.
As he withdraws she wants him available.
When she is quiet, he talks freely.
His words are sparse when she requests conversation.
When she is ready for war, he calls peace.
He picks up arms as she declares an armistice.
They are in a cycle of mutual exacerbation,
So their relationship is filled with agitation.
They are not Yin and Yang,
Complimentary opposites.
They deadlocked –
In conflicting attachments.
