A Time Apart~

His magic is his easy charm
and loyalty to my alarms
He knows I always understand
when he's been there to lend a hand

His life is stuck to toeing lines
and staying calm in trying times
But I can tell he's been abused
which leaves me feeling so confused

My heart is at a tender stage and left
in sorrow, turned to rage
I loved him with refined decorum
It should have been a different forum

My heart has been alone and sad
Those cruel attackers made me mad
My life could well be drawing short
Too much time in phoney court

I love him still as I did then
It's in his hands to be his friend
Whatever fate that he decides
I know I'll see it in his eyes.
