The Pleading Prince



"Me?
I know you see my painted face--
It's served to earn me many a glance
And maybe now it suits your taste?
You want your turn to try my dance?
Well too bad,  it's not your day
I want a break, so, keep your pay
You've no idea of what I feel
Of  who I am or what I've known
Or where I've been my empty years...
When you're like me then 
No one cares.

He looked into her eyes and said--
"No, actually I do.
And I have come specifically for you.
I want you not 
Because you're clean
But to give you 
Everything you need

So will you come away with me?

Let your lovers seek in vain
Who used but never cared for you
It was I your famished heart pursued 
Before you ever knew

Let them go who only steal,
Who promise all but take instead.
Stop letting them inside your head.

Will you trust yourself to me?
All I give I offer free
Paid from first to last by me
For I have longed to see you free
And to finally have me
I want you, gladly to be mine
So will you trust yourself to me?

Won't you trust yourself to me?
