secret dilemma

two pretty angels flanking me
like ben'ficiaries thanking me
sitting close to them patiently
guessing what they do want from me
each of them want me for keeps
each of them pull meto love-heaps
if i chose to follow the one
i'd have spoilt the other's fun
but they're too pretty to let down
and i'm too cruel to wear that crown
i have a queen i don't deserve
a lionness i alone unnerve
i can't give in to these strangers
this world has got enough dangers
fears tears and pains we've known before
i won't be the one to bring more
sweet fresh air i've known all my life
they want to bring another wife
like cigarette smell in my nose
souring the sweet smell of my rose
another look at those pretty things
who destroyed great kingdoms and kings
pretty faces but ugly heart
who can't tear you and me apart

from saint eric winter
