Andrew Crisci Poet Lyric

A Faithful Lover Never Gives Up

At my surprise
I have discovered
that making a quick decision is unwise,
intense is the longing to be heard,
to prevent a tragedy and a possible regret;
show a kinder glance and forgive who has wept! 

A faithful lover never gives up hope,
he can wait longer being sure that his scope
is not useless and is a merited reward;
look at him he has finally changed!

He was never selfish,
surrendered all for making you happy,
have you given him a small part 
of yourself and not make him worry
that another would steal your unfaithful heart?
All came true except for his wish!

A faithful lover keeps his word
and gets very angry hearing
you whisper someone's name
while you sleep and toss aside;
if this is too heart-breaking,
don't thrust deeper your sword!

Any other in the same spire
wouldn't accept cheating,
turning an eye, hoping
you'll listen to this voice
and convince yourself how wrong you are! 
Is it really worth believing
that 'though unfaithfulness 
is a betrayal that glistens
in the doubts of a guilty 
mind...can it dimmer and die out slowly? 

A faithful lover never gives up hope,
delude himself that he has found 
his perfect woman in someone so fickle-minded,
keeping her affairs secretive, refusing to cope
with another reality more hurtful than pain,
deeper than remorse that harms the brain.
