The Last Thing That I Did Right
She cried upon my shoulder
With a damaged, broken heart
I couldn’t trust myself to hold her
Without passions giving start
Her bosoms pressed up against me
As she heaved a heavy sigh
I tried releasing her so gently
But my desire would not comply
She sobbed for a lover
Who I envied every night
He left her for another
Now I held her in her plight
Her body felt so warm
Then her lips caressed my neck
Inside I felt so torn
I could not allow this coming wreck
“I do not want to be alone
Please lie here next to me
Take me for your own
It is your destiny”
I am not a man of chivalry
I can be shallow and insecure
But something then inside of me
Knew I shouldn’t – and I was sure
She took off all her clothes
And she took me by the hand
Only heaven knows
Why I left her where she stands
I never saw that girl again
After that trying night
But this, I can say my friend
It was the last thing that I did right
