CAVEMOM to CAVEDAD
The way it is is the way it is
I had a one night stand a
month ago and found out
last night I was exposed to
the HIV virus
CAVEDAD
Consider the way
You didn't consider
Consider my shoulders
The weight you've put there
Considering feelings
Consider mine first
Consider the tears
The ones I must cry
All things considered
Let's consider the worst
-------------------------------
Cavemom is on a mission for
true love and happiness not
only receiving but also in
giving. She figures there is so
much to learn why not start now.
She knows about the love note
Cavedad got from Baitshopgirl.
So far he hasn't mentioned it.
---------------------------------
CAVEMOM
This is not the worst
It's your heart that you must
follow
Shed the tears lose the weight
Or wallow in your sorrow
The weighton your shoulders
Only you have put it there
It's drama you created
And only yours to bear
You alone hurt yourself
You tattoo blame on me
Begin the healing process
Your life is yours to claim
CAVEDAD
What's the point in healing
to only hurt again?
CAVEMOM
How dramatic
How contrived
How cliche
It sounds
There is no love in pity
Or in sympathy
I don't want your pity
Don't deny me love
I don't want your sorrow
Don't deny me love
I'll deny you nothing
It's how I will love you
No more acting actor
Willing to pretend
----------------------------
Cavemoms wish for Cavedad
is that he pursues his own
dreams and heartfelt wishes.
She does not want him to stay
with her out of pity. The exposure
she had to HIV should not change
and cannot change what is in his
heart.
