some reflection on love and control

some people ask for things
that are impossible to do 
like stop loving you 
i wanted to tell you 
that i love you 
but i knew it is too soon
once, reflecting on who
i attracted, the dominant type
some literally professional 
my former love told me it was 
that big women who saw 
i was easy to control 
should have seen that red flag
seeing as she did not know 
when to leave work at work
i begin to see control mechanisms
in every interaction it’s hard to
end the wetiko ways but we can
if we want we can be different 
what will you choose?
