so it seems I'm a rock to be broken on,
just a test
a tense tease to determine if
she's strong enough to -
and there's been a few
who've found me
eminently resistible
like I'm the sacrifice and the
surety that they're still
each his
and not
well...
and for a time I convince myself
to be the flattered party
and not the other way around
and I'll remember, must must remember,
not to give the true impression that
I'm all there, that she's right
and I'm the prize...
