Man, A King Of The Cats

A man who pissed you off so bold
Shopping is like sparkling gold
Glittering in the smile of a rose
When feelings of affection are revived.

I stay within financial means
But sometimes I get so steamed
Without retail therapy to tame my meanness
My submission is in jeopardy.

If I could turn back the hands of times
I may revise words that caused your demised
But then you'd still be the same old guy
I wish I could choke some sense into

A gentle lil pussy
Becomes a fierce cat

A man can pissed you off so bold [bad grammar maybe who instead of can]
That shopping is like sparkling gold
Glittering in the smile of a rose
When feelings of affection is revived. [grammar again are revived]

I stay within financial means
But sometimes I get so steamed
Without retail therapy to tame my meanness
My submission is in jeopardy.

If I could turn back the hands of times
I'd revised words that caused your demised [?]
[I would revise the words that caused your demise]
But then you'd still be the same old guy
I wish I could choke some sense into

A gentle lil pussy
Becomes a fierce cat

Now to the meaning of the poem. From your body of work I know you are in an abusive relationship, so who becomes the pussy and who the firece cat?
