There were a few
I cared for
But not anymore, since
You came to remind me
Of the loosely held law
That I’ve broken before
When people in the same boat
Come knocking my door,
Can’t converse for long
Because then it’ll be clear
That you make me grin
From ear to ear, and
I’d like to protect
The little girl that hides
And shields her heart
Before it bursts in tides,
It’s a longer game, this one
But we’re both fools
Knowing quite well we’re swimming
In separate shallow pools
Where the shark is so desired
That one just drools
At recklessly devouring what lies behind rules.
