Let Me Be

Being a different breed of woman

 

Let me be the one you tell all your secrets to

The one you kiss and tell to

Let me be the one you cry to

 

Let me be your lover.

 

No grandiose expectations of monogamy

in a seriously faltered world of misogyny

I’d rather be a woman of polyandry

taking 2...maybe 3...lovers

 

Who adore me!

 

Yeah I’d rather be the woman you run to

than the one who a man lies to

stays away late at night to escape from too

one who has a ring, but

a gaping crack that you have slipped through

 

Fall to your knees - for me

Pay homage to my soft skin

Kiss my scars and everything in between

between my legs �" for me

 

Be devoted to me!

 

but not in a matrimonial sense

that is such a farce for so many

who are hell and heaven bent

No!

Be the one who I know will be there

if I just sometimes...just sometimes

need to cry

 

Cuz u know...I’m always smiling through those tears

Cuz u know I’ve got hella some humor inside of me...

Let me be the one who makes you laugh

When you need it

and when you don’t

 

Let me be the one you can count on to stay

when the rest of the world goes MIA

When the one you built a glass house with casts those stones

When she deceives you, because

 

You know this wasn’t all one sided.

 

Let me hold your pain

Let me hold you

Let me kiss you until your thoughts bury themselves in your lost memory

Let me make love to you, and

 

Let us both numb ourselves to the troubles

of those supposed relationships

the economy

the people who fuse anger and greed

 

Let us climb onto each other

into each other

Make it feel like we’re one body

One soul

 

Let me be the one you whisper all your secrets to

The one you kiss and tell to

Let me be your lover.

 

Tonight

 

Before we have to wake and face the fake

I love you’s

all over again.
