The man that you are
If the man you are
was worth anything special
would you have stroked the flesh of child
raping her of her youth’s enthusiasm.
Why would you entice her as a lover
and play her games of a house
only to climb in her bed
and caress the skin of youth
before it mature with reality?
If the man you are lusted for skin
there are plenty of women
to go around.
Why follow around the girl
and covet the flesh
of her fleecy baby cheeks?
If the man you are now
ever fondled the girls own skin
or attempted to stroke the child within
she would run you down--
for abusing her illusions
and making her into
a venomous woman.
