Suzanne stares at him (1)
With a question in her
Evocative eyes,
No disguise, no lies;
But he is cautious now,
He won't let her avow.
He won't let the guard down
For deep down he knows
He cannot afford to get
His heart broken twice;
Won't let one to thaw the ice
And the soliloquy runs
"I won't let anyone in;
I won't let anyone get too close,
I won't trust anyone again,
Never again, never again"
And Suzanne cooks good food
And feeds him delicious homemade pizza
And she gives him a good talk
And tells him to watch the moon;
Suzanne shows him photos from the past
But he has now a heart of a stone
And the soliloquy runs
"I won't let anyone in;
I won't let anyone get too close,
I won't trust anyone again,
Never again, never again"
Suzanne makes subtle move;
Suzanne makes him translate
St. Teresa's speech on love
But he's cautious than ever before
And the raven in him says "Nevermore" (2)
And the soliloquy runs
"I won't let anyone in;
I won't let anyone get too close,
I won't trust anyone again,
Never again, never again"
He now takes good care of
His mended heart
For he knows, nothing aches
Like a broken heart.
And every now and then
He thanks Cecilia in his mind;
For once she loved him
And left him prescind
That made him immune to love.

1. The name Suzanne is a reference to Leonard Cohen's 'Suzanne'. The song 'Suzanne' is beautifully written where Cohen made friendship, love and spirituality hold hand in hand.
2. 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was a genius and had much to give had he lived longer.
