I finally gave love a chance. I finally rode the forbidden wings of change
I trusted the twisted sense of humor of fate that perhaps this time it would end well
That the outcome would finally not be deranged
That there would be nothing to buy and nothing to sell
Remember that song that touches on the insensitivity of saying nothing?
Casual goodbyes?
You are so incredibly uptight about doing the “right thing”
What about the lies that you tell with your eyes?
I’m so tired of halfway and so weary of just getting by
I want something wholehearted and desperate
I will scream if one more stupid man asks me “why”
I need “thou art more lovely and more temperate”
Do not insult me with your ignorant excuses and your stammered shortcomings
Do not approach me if you cannot stand on your convictions
I’m so tired of silly play things
I will not chase you in a thousand directions
I am a woman – worthy of the pearl in the field – worthy of crossing the ocean – certainly worthy of your priority, your time, your respect
Do not indulge me for the sake of your “feel good” moment
Love me with all that you have and never treat me like a prospect
Treat me as a wine good for 100 years ferment.
