THE PROXY

I wouldn't want to be like you.

The too aspiring "number two".

The proxy made to fail and fall.

The dummy I should not care for.

You took the time of my dear one

As if you have taken the sun

You gently snatched the air I breathe

On a spur of moment left me weak

I felt like I was underneath

The world of falseness and deceit

You can't love her the way I do

And so I guess, I'll laugh at you

For one day soon she will return

In my longing arms, her first true home.

I wouldn't mind how long I'll wait

In God's sharp plan lies my strong faith

I know the things to come are great

No to never, better late.

My better-half is my heartbeat

My one and only precious sweet

You'll soon think of one certain fact

I have so much you plainly lack.
