If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man
Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man
And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you

Beyond Me

It’s beautiful, what you and I have.
You fell into me, I consumed myself.
You don’t realize what you’ve done for me.
And it’s beyond me that you’ve stayed.

We talk endlessly, and laugh without end.
Without end.
Forever and always we always say.
It’s still beyond me that you stay.

You saved me, you know.
The darkness tends to leave when you’re around.
The thoughts I hide away, they slip away into the crowd.
It’s beyond me that you stay.

It’s falling apart, I feel it.
This temporary distraction from what I have inside.
It’s tearing at the seams, and my time has come to decide.
It’s beyond me, why you’re still here.

I feel your breath.
I breathe you in.
I know it’s almost over, so I take you all in.
It’s beyond me that you hold on.

Now you’re gone, but you’ll get over me.
I’m holding onto what has already left.
Now I hide in the shadows of my mind.
Still beyond me why you stayed.

How do the seasons change without you.
I’m drowning in the solitude.
We’re over, I’m over.
It’s beyond me why I’ve stayed.

But I won’t, and I know that.
The voices are enchanting.
The demons, they are ranting.
It’s beyond me why I’m here.

The calls of death are prominent.
My souls’ defeat is imminent.
I once said without end, I knew I was lying.
It’s beyond me, why you don’t care.

I fell asleep
and trusted my soul to keep
but then I entered a lush garden
which I entered without a pardon
over at the far end
yes just around the bend
was a women standing
on a marble landing
her back was turned to me
and I could see
snakes in her hair
yet her skin was quite fair
and she had quite a nice derrière
I turned to flee
but that's just not me
she had the snake hair thing
but I heard that wow could she sing
a lonely broken hearted song
about so many things that were wrong
I looked again
around that bend
in addition to the skin, voice and ---
her body had more curves then a racetrack
so adapting my best tack
I picked some red flowers
by the big ivory tower
and walked up to her and bent on one knee
presenting the flowers I said see
this is for you
because your song was sad and true
she turned and said arghh now you turn to stone
but instead I said I do not wish to spurn
but stone is not really my thing
I can show you my yo-yo on a string
or perhaps juggling maybe a little mime
I can do many wonderful things if you have the time
so she pulled out a gun
suprised I said no no thats no fun
then I looked as cute as I could
and stayed as still as wood
I don't understand she said why you don't attack me
you are a hero and I am hideous can't you see
I said nah handing her the flowers
you are quite beautiful here by your tower
I would rather take you out for coffee and cake
so I leave the rest of the story out for you to make
;)

Just when I was driving around
thinking about all the things
I'd do just to see you for a second,
There you are.
We crossed paths at the intersection.
Funny huh?
Some may call it a coincidence,
but I call it fate.
I just wish I could've wrapped my
arms around your tall, skinny frame,
and remember what it's like
to touch you.
I'd have to hold back
on saying how much I miss you;
and how much I still love you.

Dearest Kidnapper-
      You broke in, took my soul captive, and stole my heart, destroyed my fear and inhibitions.
      I should feel need for escape, recovery and rebuild my defenses...Yet here I am, with no will to run.
     Quite frankly you are the poorest excuse for a criminal. Actually you have been more than wonderful, doing nothing but filling me with your own heart, warming me with your soul, singing your sweet poetry to occupy my mind, and ensuring I'm not without affections.
     I think authorities were notified, but I've seen no sign of them finding us, as you've tucked us away so well in your secret lair.
I realize now, I shall never leave, let alone find my way out even if you released me.
     You may keep my heart, for I have yours. I promise to take gentle care of your soul, as you have nourished mine.
      Any ransom you may have thought to ask for should be considered paid in full.
Though I think I have fallen ill with a condition...
Is it so strange I tell you I love you?
Eternal regards,
Willing Hostage
