leave it alone

she was unappreciated by her partner

and because he appeared anxious and needy

lonely... he felt he would take advantage

and prey on her misery

he made inappropriate advances

she had mentioned her lover as hard to deal with

a hard taskmaster and old fashioned

she could perhaps not exit the relatioship

but yet she craved attention

and that is how it begun

indecent liberties were taken

even though her soul was genuinely aching

the old man however did not care about the chance he was taking

reckless and arrogant moral acuity he was forsaking

he thought he was above the law in pursuit of a good time

she fired a warning shot

telling her job and family

he did not consider himself engaging in unsavory activity

but a line was crossed unfortunately

one would think to behave better at an advanced age

but he refused to turn the page

and be content in the autumn of his story

he would not learn from his errors

yet love to him had not been fair

as a matter of fact it had been awfully scarse

yet forgoing sense and catering to lust he went there

dangerous ground he tread on but could he be spared

fate he would dare

he was blessed not to be reported to the authorities

in this case it's just best to leave it alone

but he felt unwanted
