What To Say

What to say to a woman. To a woman with doubt in her mind, fear in her heart, knots in her soul. To a woman with lust in her eyes, hunger in her gut and desire in her body. To a woman who wanders in the dark, rejects the love of friends, accepts the hands of a stranger. To a woman who misses her companions, her family; and longs for arms at night. To a woman who cries out for attention and finds it only in the eyes of a man hiding behind a mask. They try to teach us so many things; how to live, how to kill, how to die, how to win and to lose; cook, fish, drive, read, write; how to be honorable and how to survive pain. But not a one has told, or even truly knows, the key to giving comfort, to listening; to find solutions, or to be the romantic or the friend as needed. Not one, man, woman or beast has ever told a man; what to say to a woman.
