Seducing Spirit
He walked away from her quick and full of pride
In search of the young girl he had to hide
Dyeing gray hairs to cover his age
She became silent as she watched his change
When he saw the young girl their smiles grew wide
She had to bury how much it hurt her deep inside
Old enough to be the young girl’s grandfather
She had always yearned to be the mother of a daughter
His love for her he rejected and quickly tossed aside
As the life she once knew slowly died
His words burned like fire as he passed the blame
Left alone she would now carry the burden of his shame
With tearful eyes he told of how much he had tried
She only wanted to hold him as she violently cried
As he told her she never was or would be his wife
She knew the young girl, her dear friend, had taken her life
In the church he & she used to sit together on a pew
The young girl took all they had, giving the members a perfect view
