Short Lived Lover
Soul Over Sex
I gave you a chance
to let yourself be free
*
I gave you a space
to share your truth with me
*
I gave you my bare
naked honesty
*
I was sincere
I was soft
I was safe
*
But you kept
your cards hidden
Played games with my mind
when I don't have the time
*
You had me for a moment
but moments are fleeting
*
You fucked like a soldier
Just when I thought
At least I can teach
an old dog new tricks
*
I remembered it's
a mission impossible
to teach a soldier
how to be honest
*
Immaturity
and dishonesty
destroyed all attraction
as you danced around
your opportunity
to be real with me
*
Peeling your onion skins
carefully to keep me from seeing
what I already had seen
*
And just like that
in a moment
you lost all my interest
*
You had me for a moment
but infatuation is fleeting
*
You walk like a soldier
and talk like the government
Your body is fine
but your soul is non-existent
*
I wash my body
from your flesh
I was my hands
of your pretense
