I Do Not Know How To Impress An Empress

I am in a mess, My life is in a mess, I have no skills, no romance to give, And much less, Less than you expect dear, Don’t be in fear, And don’t stare at me like if I came from Alcatraz, How to impress the empress? And you are here still standing For me to give you a nice word, A poem, Covered in a dress, A dress of feelings, emotions, Smooth touches, Well organised like a chess I told you that I am an army soldier, Who knows nothing about love, Or feelings, I am designed To kill To kill everything that moves around you, And around me And I don’t care less, Sorry they made me that way They trained me to hate, To beat, to torture, to beat the hell of you all And to harass, Sorry dear, They made me that way And I don’t know how to humanise me And be like you all to feel, To talk the talk, and do the walk you do all And love tenderly And cry like a baby And when I am hurt, And stop my beloved caresses me And my shoulders, Then breathes inside my ear Air of love, Air of tenderness and much more Oh dear that’s what I love And that’s what I wish for But right now I am done and my time is due, Captain! I am coming, Yes sir, Yes sir! Bye my empress!
