From the Very Darkest Gentleman

Lady, Miss, I climbed the very tallest mountain
to bring it back to you, a diamond so large and shiny
that it blinded men and crushed children to pulps.

The things that came from you came from your mouth like some water from a fountain.
You were a sensual woman, but you were also whiney,
and I knew very well what you sought.
You sought the very strongest man,
with arms like tree trunks and an abdomen as hard as rock.

I thought I could be that man, I really did
and now I know there's no such thing.
Fantasy was another reality and you were trapped within
and I had long arms but not even the longest could reach that outstanding length
to pull you back in from the deep end, the middle of the ocean.

I did it all just to get a piece of you, how could I have been so foolish?
It was true; you were ruthless.
To think I thought I could be that man;
that classy, in high demand.
But instead I learn to live with myself,
I am no brawn, but I will make sure they fawn over my words,
and then instead of my body
they will want my vocal chords.
