PRIDE

Pride

Rolls revered, places traded
You in charge, control and I along for the journey
Looking at the plate, waiting, wanting, yearning to step up to it
But I’m limited by circumstances
Not being the man I can be or used to,
With an already tarnished ego now dented, damaged
The trend continues and I feel more at peace with it, being a kept man.
But upset with me for letting this persist
Thoughts of being a gold-digger, user, player, plays on my mind
So I do what any self respecting man would.
Put an end to this misery and your night stand, next morning awkwardness.
Thanks but no.
Heartfelt and honorable are your intentions, but my pride wont let me
Use you, play you.
Though I can't let you know it, pride won't let me show it
You deserve so much more because I love you and respect you.
