Used to be that deodorant that cuts underarm sweat
games of control is what one does when a partner
sneaks out to bet.
you see couples doing their natural, daily routines
but think of the control that sticks out in between.

I would spray on my underarm and pray that odors would halt
control is what a partner does when he finds his mate at fault
if self-control is what to do to cut your diet in-take
managing other peoples lives is not the way to balance what's at stake.

trust your partner's liberty if you see that their freedom is in peril
question if the control you use is not a projection
of your own devil;
as in the case of some female rock stars who were controlled by their jealous mates
that led to their major discontent and a change in their fate.

Those performers realized that liberty was more important than the love they thought they had
public opinion had it that stifling male dominance was bad
they turned around and questioned their men about
their restrictive bans.
that led to more respect from their respective fans.

Being controled by someone isn't cool.
I think a relationship should be 50/50 when it comes to decisions. There are men out there who like things their way and then there are women who want to wear the pants.
You've done good with this one
