Take me out to dinner, Baby

It would be a waste to raise my voice to you,

to shed a tear for you,

to loose sleep for you.

 

I wish I could pass that burden onto you,

this weight to you,

concern to you.

 

Alas, I live in my humanity with openness and clarity.

Purge your murky waters clear from me with ecstasy and vanity.

 

For every incidental man, I sense a crack in sanity;

and earnestly I patch the pain with stories of calamity.

 

Onto the next, in hope I may escape this banal dramedy.
