You Are Just A Man
Not meant for me. I send you off free
You Are Just A Man
You’re just a man, not a king,
No crown, no throne, no song to sing.
Not the hero I’d dreamed of before,
Just a shadow standing at my door.
No spark within, no fire, no glow,
No depths of warmth for me to know.
Not a person my heart could trust,
Just empty words that fade to dust.
You’re just a man, not what I need,
No roots to grow, no tender seed.
I turn away, my path is clear,
No love to give, no longing here.
The road ahead is mine to claim,
Unchained by doubt, untouched by shame.
Your chapter ends, the page now turns,
To brighter days where my candle burns.

Sail On, Silver Girl
I was still mad about it, all these years later. I was barely an adult, and only thinking about boys, partying, and occasionally studying. I know, quite a change, isn’t it? I swear, the universe laughs, and the Deity feeds and thrives on the irony produced by our efforts.

There seems to be a choice that needs to be made. Good job.
