you're just a man

“you’re just a man,”

she’d say, scowling,
prowling the inner depths of my
mind
searching for any explication

“you’re just a man,”

predisposed to apathy,
happily ignorant and indifferent to
emotion
unmindful and sensually stolid

“you’re just a man,”

with indignant cries,
lies in the forefront of my
consciousness
beleaguering my sanity

“you’re just a man,”

would crop up in fights,
nights laced with acrimonious
heartache
the dissonance still rattles my skull

“you’re just a man,”

without any feeling,
stealing away your tears and
laughing
giddy with contemptible naivety

“you’re just a man,”

perhaps it’s true,
imbued deeper than hammurabi’s
code
unchangeably written

“you’re just a man!”

stupid man…

I love the structure of this poem and the words you use. It's brilliant. I also love the lines with only one word.

mind
emotion
consciousness
heartache
laughing
code

All words that a man can either cause/do/is. Maybe I'm reading into it too much but it all adds up to a compliment in my mind.
