Hearts Vanity

08 October 2005


Vanity is a man’s heart
in all her glory
Vanity was blond hair
blue eyes in picture to story

Her sexy shows
flattering legs
and high heels
Vanity was a man
to the view he steals

Her breasts - her platinum braids
her smile - her teeth - the way
she gives to man
excitement in belief

Vanity was a man’s heart
the path to sensation burn
What was her name
and what of her he could learn
