A Lover Waits
A lover has only one job
Just wait and wait
For his beloved to come and rob
To rob all his peace of mind
To rob his power of vision
And make him absolutely blind
To rob his contention of soul
And tear his pleasure and grind
Just wait and wait
To come and make him a beggar
Begging for her love dagger
And throw him into the hell
Leave him to weep and yell
Just wait and wait
To come and make him a rebel
And stay out in silent dark dwell
To make him fume and fight
And prove every wrong right
