why she’s so intoxicating
he can’t really understand;
she is here, and he’s a servant
waiting for her next command –
but that’s not the game they’re playing.
their game is much simpler still —
she desires to be wanted,
and he wants her with a will
but his want is tempered slightly
by a few scruples of his:
he cannot take their love lightly,
for to him, she precious is
now so open, so inviting –
it’s an offer he’ll soon take:
sensual dessert for two, with
love, the icing on
the cake
My only wish for you, my friend,
Is that these times would never end.
He loves you and he’s good to you:
And I can see you love him, too.
He loves your daughter just as well,
And after all the years of hell
You’ve been through: lonely, scared and poor,
It’s not too much I’m asking for.
I have one other hope, today,
Which is, as you go on your way
Through all your life’s new open doors,
Just know: this friend
Is truly
Yours
You were bent, but never broken,
Friend who I admire so –
Though the hurtful word was spoken,
Many painful lives ago
You’ve decided you’d do better
Than the life your parents had;
You are not your lonely mother,
Nor your broken, angry dad
There’s a strength that wells within you,
You will all your dreams fulfill —
You were bent, but never broken:
Never have been
Never
Will
Oh, don’t be coy, I know it’s true;
You’ve fallen hard. Girl, I know you –
I know you’ve watched him for awhile,
And now I see him in that smile
But after all that you’ve been through?
I’d say it’s more than way past due;
A happy tale of girl meets boy –
So let your joy out,
Don’t
Be coy
There it is, another weekend’s fled.
I’ve said what I have said: the wrong, the right —
But you’re still beautiful my friend. You are —
So, now from all of me to you
Goodnight
