Honesty is the best policy

October 19, 2017

I hope you forgive

Me for all the headaches

I cause. My mouth truly operates

Independently, and

While I stargaze searching

For words to best describe it. It cannot

Resist ruining

My better realization

That for your honor I should be silent

I know all wolves

Need to be kept at a distance

Even if a harmless dog can blend in

With that pack, he

Respects that notion

Nonetheless. But please understand

That even when

It seems my heart was failing

And the light in my eyes was dimming

Cause in my life

I had no light and your words

Might have been the breeze to beset

My worries,

And allay my anxieties

I still cast my eyes down when coming

Close to you.

For never do I wish

To be a part of a portrait when I am

Not pertaining

To your tastes. It is with

My utmost seriousness that I swear

Your smile is a

Priority so when you

Call for my absence, it is a mandate

I must oblige.

Cursed by my namesake,

I am blessed to make you happy.

And the only

Words that will ever

Be on my lips is "As you wish."
