I could have used your company last night
Could have talked or had a tongue and kitty fight
And no, I'm not all right
Until you come over and fix my plight
Had a most stressing day
And was looking towards some one on one word play
Your presence is enough for me
I drink you in and perspire glee
I remove you from your pedestal
And return you back... your love gently bruised
No matter the path I find beneath my feet
I sense you just over my shoulder hovering, lovingly
I enclosed you in our love knowing your fear of small places
That defenseless look... could almost taste it
And I know it's sick but seeing you that way turns me on
But understand my illness will do you no harm
My nature rages to overwhelm and break right through
But I would turn tide on myself before it turned on you
Because you loved me and you knew I wasn't right
And for that I'd kiss your feet or risk my life
You see the world needs more people like you...
That can separate between Black and Evil
And know that one is an adjective and one is a people
