A classic

Touch me not with hands nor lips

But with words that might eclipse

Sorrow experience thus far

Tell me man, where goes the love?

 

Does it wither does it break

Fade, escape no longer take?

Bend or shake or past delete

Nonetheless I fight to keep

Memories were once so sweet

Yet you imply you lost a beat?

 

No no no my dear lost lover

Lies aren’t artful enough to cover

Betrayal build upon muck mess

You lack the backbone to confess

 

And here, a fool, I kneel before it

Slaughter outcome must be boring

To such as you who bares no guilt

I must seem a helpless wit

 

But who if not a wise shrewd shrew

Could determine that you yes you

Hide behind false debauchery

When inside a scared lottery

A winning ticket so you are

If one might hold on thus far

A cretin true but with gold heart

If one may peel away crude layers

One may find a gentle layer

Of devotion, love and friendship

Even innocents can’t fake it

So I face pretense massacre

Until I flay last layer, classical

Love story of the ages

Boy meets girl and then she saves him.
