what man are you?

dear "certain someone,"

i started today with a thought of you...and so far nothing has changed. knowing me i'll end the day exactly as i started it...this is for you...


what man are you that i should weep,
spend countless nights at odds with sleep
and desperate, fight your love to keep
for all eternity?

what man are you that i should ask
to do the vilest servant's task
in hopes one day you will, at last
bring your love to me?

what man are you when i can say
many more will come my way
and for my love will fervent pray
and long for only me?

what man you are i know right well
one who's trapped me 'neath a spell
for whose love i'd suffer hell
and do so willingly.
