Betty & Al

More about Betty & Al

We don't expect the world.
I can only give you what is mine,
Moonlit crafting time.
Betty thinks about calling her Al?
Surrendering, quenched my parched soul.
Strength kills, I fixate on resolve as if it's love.
Avoiding sitting with the hard things cost me.
Gifted reprieve that wasn't owed.
I stop and smell a flower,
Could I earn the best of you?
Facing the mirror, for myself I felt sorry.
Loneliness has been the rocks below my cliff.

I realize doing right by you,
Is doing right by me.
Our love isn't true if it isn't free.
No monster underneath, judged by the cover.
Sharp end of these paws make others pause.
If you knew me, would you allow me to trust you?

Tender feelings I found down here.
I adore few, well wished, forget any apology.
Picking up where we have left off.
Shelter granted, not everyone's tempest of tea.
Could you love a guy like me?
You know you could have crushed me.
I want to build something beautiful.
Deep down I may be a bear, 1 full of snugs.
Often mistook kindness,
I am type cast as a thug.
This role I play isn't fun,
Ringer knotted drawn by repute's ill.
Tell me how do you preserve yourself?
Diamond plated, I see you with the hardest of shells.
When you doff your armor my dawn breaks,
Cold comfort is harsh, it bites deep.
Especially knowing the warmth of a fire kissed cheek.

I realize doing right by you,
Is doing right by me.
Our love isn't true if it isn't free.
No monster underneath, judged by the cover.
Sharp end of these paws make others pause.
If you knew me, would you allow me to trust you?

Clouted, aperture's of legends, the mirror crows.
Child's play, as a lost boy, I am not proud.
How I am embarrassed.
The real me shown.
No brakes I see the fall.
Cursed gifts, the ability to disconnect,
thinking I am stepping outside myself.
I walk away from what I shouldn't.
No more, I bury the past.
I help you hold on to me.
No need for this armor that feels like home.
Trust I give too many times in cynical sacrifice.
Time forges a new man.
Few know what they truly want.
Curious, I ask 1 a question.
Would you know what you wanted,
Before given the chance?

I realize doing right by you,
Is doing right by me.
Our love isn't true if it isn't free.
No monster underneath, judged by the cover.
Sharp end of these paws make others pause.
If you knew me, would you allow me to trust you?

Forever, Ever, and Evermore,
Aaron Baker
