The Gentleman

I wish to rip the very image
That you have framed me in
The perfect gentleman

I am anything
But a gentleman
When you are around me
Savage I wish to be
To rip that diaphanous layer
That caresses your curves
From where your third eye
Speaks to me

I wish to shred that very image
That you have forced upon me
The perfect gentleman

Lady, if given an opportunity
I will enlighten you
What a gentleman can be
A facade that I maintain
A devil that resides
Within me

What I wish to do to you
I do not know
But I yearn to make love
To your eyes
Till you cry
My name

A gentleman doesn't show mercy
My lady.
