poetess

What can I do? I'm a poetess

Who weaves dreams by day

And loves by night;

A poet's heart is true they say

With lofty ideals through and through;

But a poetess they say can't be trusted

So I'll lay the facts bare today:

I can promise you the world 

In a heartfelt rhyme

And for that you don't part with

A single dime;

I can sing your praises,

Paint fantasies for you to taste,

But at the end of the day

The rhythm is disrupted

In our circumstances

Because we are pals today,

Not lovers, and the inspiration 

Has stopped churning

Within my heart

And I still hold the ideals

That my love is founded on

High never saying 

Nay.
