Their 'Love'

-
He said he adored her sense of independence,
But actually, from her dependence he got his;
He said he admired her strength,
But actually, from her weakening he derived his;
He said he revered her freedom,
But actually, in her blind devotion he felt his;

She said she cherished her own independence,
But she wanted his backbone, to depend on;
She said she relied on her own strength,
But she wanted his support, for her weakness;
She said her nourishment was her own freedom,
But she wanted his will, to surrender hers completely;

And they were said to be in love,
Gazing into each other's eyes...
And I did not know whether to admonish him, or her...

Or probably myself, for not being able to understand...
