Just Hush...

Stop... and think, a moment; choose the words you use, most carefully.
What makes you think her soft, sweet words that you consume, so greedily,
hold some secret message that she's on the brink... about to fall?
When, perhaps, in truth... her words hold nothing there for you, at all...

Now... Hush.


I can read between the lines... I know just what She wants to hear;
l know that Her heart is hungry... this Babe's calling... loud, and clear.
Just a few more honeyed words... gentle, sweet... and carefully planned...
and I can pick her, like a ripe peach... just by stretching out my hand.

So I won't Hush!


Just Hush...

And then, What?... Play with Her emotions, on some selfish ego trip?
Shatter Her belief in Love... with weasel words, that lightly trip
off your tongue... poetic dross; meaningless... when used, this way;
l had thought better of you...
l was wrong, if this game, you would play...

Now, Hush.


Give me a break... stop whispering in my mind, I'm not that bad... for sure,
she plays The Game, she walks The Walk... she talks The Talk... she knows the score.
It's just a nudge, to speed things up... I know that the attraction's there...
besides which, they all say that everything, in Love, and War is fair.

No... I won't Hush!


Just Hush...

Then, play it by the Rules... don't act as if you were some heartless Jerk;
choose the words your heart soft, whispers... not the ones you think, best work.
Don't spin those silky webs of hackneyed platitudes, to soft, ensnare
Her heart...
for, she has heard it all before, from other Jerks, out there...

Now... Hush.


Stop whispering... I get the picture; be sincere... yes; OK,Fine...
I've thought of one to melt Her heart, I'll really have to use that line...


No!... Hush...

If, She tends a flame for you... flickering gently... as, She may;
be patient; it may yet, be tiny... but, Love will always find a way...

Now... Hush.
