Function

We don’t know how we stand,

Your body can always crack.

Unexpected, unreachable,

Even shocked.

 

Protein, lacking in

Because it’s not always

Easy to consume,

And you tell me I should be able to.

 

In that instance, tell me when I turn pale,

It’s only your duty,

Your politeness that should suggest

Such a function because I may faint.

 

I would give that pleasure,

If it was another one.

I don’t mean to be so polite,

But maybe you’re too beautiful.

 

I can turn you away from dying,

If you give me the same pleasure

Then at least you tried,

And I know you would have.
