dukes and guardians

he went from libertine
to average citizen
in under a year
shared with me everything
secrets and beverages
went beyond
fear
I'll always love you because
I always did love a fool
you were
the everything
but are they still calling you cool?
passionate woman
how did she lead you astray
a friend to everyone
now just one lover's slave
eye to the keyhole
can't even open the door
so what do i care
this wasn't what i was looking for
you could have been anyone
chagall or a movie star
philosopher's stone
now wait by the window
with somebody who keeps you
while you feel alone.
you were the healer
you were the saint
you were the bastion
you were the great
from pride to hogtied
break down the chains
you can start over come back
to your friends
we will have a toast
and the nightmare will end.
