she knows not
how much i love
how much I'd take a bullet
and lift my soul up above
so she can have another chance
to have love again
for another man
who wouldn't love like i loved

she knows not
that although i may not buy her pretty jewels
or spend money on her in full
that i love her still like the world
and i'm too stupid to spend my time and effort
on something that will fade
because our love will not
but a memory...a thought?
nice and pleasing
but will not keep her from leaving

she knows not
that she is my life
and i cant ever leave my life
unless i die
which will still not separate
the love i have
for my bride

she asks for me to stay
"and stay i will"
even when she refuses me
the same peace of mind

but blame falls not on her
when she threatens
to leave me bare
on the back of an untamed bull

it was my fault to mount
and endanger our love
so now i'll get back off
unless she mounts with me

and ride our lives out past the sunset
on a force that cant be controlled
our emotions
our vulnerable, untamed love

when she says she wants to cut
upon the wings of her own feathered emotions
i was ignorant

when she said suicide was the only way out
and she needed a rope to grasp
i was ignorant

when she said she needed me
and i turned my back on her

she was gone

...but no more...

Being desirable messes with your mind
Think this through and i think you will find
It’s better to be bashful and shy
Then beautiful, bodacious, and that kind of guy
Cause that kind of guy goes away in time
And then you’ll be left with a story like mine.

I saw her sitting there
On the porch beside the stairs
And although she didn't move
I could tell she saw me too
She saw my will, my courage, and strength
She saw the way that i would wait
She saw my flaws, i’d been through hell
But i knew her only all too well
I knew she had faced hardship at youth
I too knew she was hurt, felt blue
I knew she was too hurt to cry
And for that, i knew, she wished she could die
But i will stay, and be her family
For my name is william, and william loves annie

his name was papa bobby
or it was to his baby
but his baby was me
so i'll just call him daddy

he lived in a house
with a lover, a spouse
and he said he loved me
but then gone was my safety
for he saw some bad things
and that changed him, his being
and then he changed me
when he messed with my mommy

and though he no longer lives
and even though his memory fibs
i still remember my daddy
before the war made him a baddy

Every lady is a kindred spirit
Every lady deserves a chance
Every lady has thrown a fit
Every lady has taken a stand

There is no such thing as a *****
No such thing as a ***
They do what they must to be adored
They use what they know to put on a show

Forgive them if they hurt your pride
For they are none the wiser
One of them may be your bride
And another be a fighter

It is your job to evolve
It is your job to adapt
Every girl will eventually fall
You need to be there for that

They need your support
And they need your charisma
For sometimes they may fall short
Of being a source of wisdom

So every lady may be flawed
In one way or another
You need to treat them like a mom
And be there for them
Like a brother
