C11 (x33333@1)VERSE II

Let me tell you some more about myself, you know I'm sitting at home
just now.
The big events of the day have passed and the late TV shows have come
on.
I'm number one on the home team, but I still feel unfulfilled. A
silent voice
in a broken heart complains that I'm unskilled. And I know that when
she
thinks of me, she thinks of me as him, but unlike me she don't workout
her
frustrations in the gym.

Recriminations fester and the past can never change, a woman's
expectations
run from both ends of the range.

Once she walked with untamed lovers face between her legs,
Now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg...
