Why?
such counterfeit emotions
shower from your font?
Why secret lovers
do you hide?
I for one
say to you handsome woman
change for him
He is worth it
your pen is knowledgeable
and knows him well
Why would another ever wish to be
second place
a substitute
for you
who dedicates
and praises his efforts?
Could I not write
for the rest of my life
and still
not reach the pedestal
you sit upon?
Not friends?
Of course not
secret lovers
only one thing
an irony
read your verse
may he read his
what you are doing
goes against its very essence
he who dedicates his gem of a heart
(and it is I agree)
hurts the very one
who cries
and bleeds daily
for him.
