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
