CONTENDERS

Did you kiss Ego this morning?

Did you whisper in its air?

Did you squeeze it tightly, Honey,

When I was not there?

Did you smile while applauded,

For your vengeful heart?

Did you retell those quests, 

Of unforgiveness from the start?

Did you enjoy its odor?

Did you taste its hair?

Did you stay up all night with Ego

Or remove its underwear?

Does Ego’s eyes have color?

Can Ego’s lips pout?

Does it embrace you daily

And erase your every doubt?

I came back because I love you

I returned because I care

You cried and called so much,

Begging  when I was not there!

So I became quite sorry

But that damn  Ego tells  you lies!

It was not all about the  money

Oh! The way you touch my thighs!

Well, go on and hate this Empress!

Go on and beat me with your tongue!

Soon we will be even, Honey

Point proven to all around!

This second chance is like a stage

For you and  Ego to frolic on

But do not cry or call tomorrow!

And  do not miss me when I’m gone!
