He was a confident man
Knew all the right words to say
These women like magnets to fridges
Saw the charm in him

He was a confident man
Knew the right buttons to press
These women stuck like glue
Saw something confident in him

He was a confident man
Knew how to touch with cry
These women like snakes
Saw blurred impressions in him

He was a confident man
Knew how to walk in fire
These women burned like stone
Saw sense in him

He was a confident man
Knew how to handle tricks
These women like testers
Saw no weakness in him

He was a confident man
Knew how to battle on
These women like weakness in man
Saw resilience in him

He was a confident man
Knew nothing of the next
This woman an impossible board game
Saw confusion in him

He was a confident man
Knew time was up
This woman like a question mark
Saw nothing atall

She was a confused girl
Knew how to be unsure
This girl like ice in summer

Saw nothing atall
