Play it Hard and Close to the Vest

you've discovered the vice young man,
at a young age and with frail young heart
with up and down constant beatings
and your stupid stiff upper lip
tight against your wool coat and leather gloves
you've been away haven't you?
we know where you've gone, when you saw it
this is almost as gorgeous as she was
almost.
we take these things that happen to us,
and put them in our pockets
we use them as book marks
and never pass them on to new books
it's temporary
even though you say nay
it is
your minds made up.
admit it
