Trust this once, I be honest
If naught, I be your detest
I request... see not my best
Lest, you see my life's a mess.
Knight nor angel be my fame
Yet demon may be my name
For I am void, all the same
Might once, the beast has been tame.
Read your "Words," few times over
Feeling this guilt forever
Hoping I was better
"I'm sorry..." speaks my letter.
Know not, if I caused you smile
Only knew, I made you cry;
I bear not a will so vile
"Forgive me..." for much I pry.
Laziness, I call father
Fallacy be my brother
But trust, pain too my teacher
And hatred my named lover.
I come in princely garment
Yet, naught stranger to torment
Believe... this time I lament
I too was broken and bent.
And as you read this seventh,
Naught deadly sin nor Godsent
Please wait... make way for the eighth
I hope you come not I to hate.
'Til eight day, my feelings last
"Til thirteenth hour, I stand fast
At world's end, I turn to dust
Your sake, I accept all cuss...
By no means, am I kidding
You're pretty, I'm not lying
You know, I'm at your bidding
Your smile, beauty undying...
Your hair not black but silky
And eyes that shine so brightly
Thy skin looking so dewy
You're extraordinary...
There are times when you're silly
Know that I will set you free
Ask I, try look at what I see
You're truly perfect to me.
Trust me, need not you be strong
I am here for you lifelong
And give me a bit of prong,
Then I will prove the world wrong.
Know that I have found a clue
Right now, I give you my cue
Too deep, too much, too hard, too?
I only wish to be true...
Warmer red and cooler blue
A purple rose is your hue
Beauty be gone, without "U"
I am always here for you...
This Fourteenth, I am Honest
-Jean Lewis
