He remains wrapped in mystery.
She has loved him and been hurt by him.
She has believed his lies, and doubted his truth.
She has foolishly tried to change him,
and learned it cannot be done.
She has craved his control,
surrendered to his spanking hand,
and while gasping at the confusing joy it brings,
has wondered why he loves to administer the sting.
Listening patiently to her female friends,
she has endured endless dissections of his words and deeds,
finding conclusions impossible to reach.
She has tossed and turned
and cried and laughed
and seethed and jumped for joy.
She has been an ear for his complaints,
wiped his troubled brow,
placated his temper,
and cajoled him into smiles.
She has scrutinized and probed,
pondered and cogitated,
but after the hours, days, months and years,
he who is man,
remains a mystery.
