To teach a woman like me
how to spot the difference between
broken hearts and a jaded soul,
requires a man built from the purest of gold.
Millions of volts flood the void no one can see.
Raging waters of the strongest electricity
devour you and you're too proud to admit it-
go on and make a choice while you still get a decision.
Eventually, the dams will break and then they'll burst-
making you wonder if that broken heart was what it really meant to hurt.
You spike a different brand of fever when the levee breaks;
stealing your will to fight, a scavengers' favorite prey.
But you asked for it, practically begged on your knees,
to be turned into the man you never thought you'd be.
Well you got what you came for but was it really worth it?
Spending all your life paying for love, only to desert it?
