Heroic

You Know, 
It's Not Especially
Heroic To Say:

"I Give Up,
You Can Have Him,
You Deserve It
Anyway..."

Just Desserts,
Don't Have To Be...

Do I Hafta' Say It?

Just Dessert.

Not "DESERTS!"

Deserts Are Beautiful,
Skies Are Beautiful,
Clouds Are Beautiful,
Welcome The Rain...

Cool And Refreshing,
Pouring Into Everything
Soothing And Shifting,
Calming The Pain...

In Beautiful Splendor...
A Butterfly Dies,
And Not One Rat
Ever Wept Tears.
