A man is what I am
A man is all I am
I am bad
I am myself
I am as wonderful as you see me as being
I am as horrible as you tell your friends that I am
I am loyal. I am considerate
When you call me a dog,
Does it mean I’m a true, faithful,friend?
Does it mean you come home and kick me after you’ve had a tough day?
Does it mean I will chase after whichever bitch I smell first?
I am a man
I cannot tell you that I will never seek in another person what I want and do not get from you
I can tell you that I will not walk away from you in times of trouble. That is if you allow me to stay.
And, no I will not leave you simply because someone else makes me an offer
I am not complex
I am not complicated
If you take time to look at me closely.
What you see on the surface is what you’ll find in the middle.
I am clear as glass and easy to see through.
But I am deep and am deeply rooted.
I do not give love easily,
But, once given, the bond is strong.
It does not die.
It must be killed.
And only the one I love can do that
