Loved Him for Him

He so tired of women
only after his money,
that he lost all respect
for women in general.

He mistakenly stereotyped
even women who
were not gold diggers,

but he was too disappointed
in the avaricious ones
whose love was commercial
to see through his untrue bias.

But after some reflection
he saw how he let his
bad experiences with
fake women and false loves
skewer his opinion
about all women and
that some had to be good.

So he came up with a plan
to find a woman who
would love him for him.

Like he’d seen in a old movie
he pretended to be poor
with inexpensive clothes
and an old beat up car.

Eventually after many rejections,
he met a sweet, saintly woman
who loved him more and truer
than all his discarded gold diggers.
