CUFFED


He gave

she took

for him , it lasted

for her , it worked

 

but the only difference is

she loved girls and got beaten up for it

blind fold , pants down and is shown her place in society

 

the only difference is

he found boys attractive and got cannibalised for it

got told to be a man but dolls up at night

 

in the confinements of society

they long to come out

their comfort clothes

locked in a closet

 

monsters of their creations

locked up in their brain

puts pen to paper

but to their hands its a strain

 

cuffed in the chains of societies claims

it was the perfect cover for both

as he gave

and she took

for him , it lasted

for her , it worked
