-*-

Well, you are correct,

I lusty called for you,

when I was at the bottom

and couldn't handle the truth.

-*-

But, you took your time,

to walk up towards me;

and while I was waiting

I weighed down on my knees.

-*-

I'm far better by now after talking to her,

I was crying the pain impuissant to defer.

She extended her hand and replevied my soul

when my brain was morose and my zest paid the toll.

-*-

Well, you are correct,

I lusty called for you,

when I was yelling out loud,

trampling glass with no shoes.

-*-

But, you took your time,

to crop up towards me;

all that waiting is over,

I'm no longer in need.

-*-

I'm far better by now after talking to her,

I was crying the pain impuissant to defer.

She extended her hand and replevied my soul

when my brain was morose and my greed paid the toll.

-*-

Well, you are correct,

I lusty called for you;

but now I'm reclaimed,

that's the apodictic truth.
