To the Alpha Man


Dear Young Man, heed this truth I share,  

In comfort's embrace, love can be rare.  

If you make it too easy, too soft, too sweet,  

You may find her affection is not quite complete.  


For comfort conceals what’s deep in the heart,  

And ease can erase the effort, the art.  

She may smile and laugh, but look deeper inside,  

Is it love that she feels, or just a smooth ride?  


She doesn’t love you, not truly, you see,  

She loves the soft life, the luxury spree.  

The way that you cherish, the gifts that you bring,  

But love’s not a transaction, it’s more than a fling.  


So stand tall, Alpha, with strength in your core,  

Let her earn your affection, let her seek more.  

For true love is forged in the fire of strife,  

Not just in the comfort of an easy life.  


Challenge her spirit, ignite her desire,  

Let her see the man who can take her higher.  

For when she loves you, not just what you provide,  

You’ll know in your heart, she’s there by your side.
