Getting Prettier
I'll embrace this as coincidence
and seek no further thought.
You're getting prettier all the time,
but your efforts aren't for me.
I saw you in a brand new dress
and your legs had sought my eyes,
but the word that I conveyed to you
wilted against your barriers.
Do we seek to better ourselves
for us or someone other?
I know that I would give myself
to you if you'd allow.
But you know where your life is headed;
I'd only slow you down -
and by that train of conscious stream,
I'll simply smoke my needs away.
