Ghost Of Love Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

You don't know who I really am.
Before you say so many attracting words.
Let me show.
Let me tell.
Walking straight through the gates hell.
A man who chose poverty, over luxury.
Why, because of the freedom.
A slave not to destitution, because it was a choice.
No restriction upon my voice.
No desire, need to chase, or make proclamations.
I won't come save you.
Not without knowing.
An acquaintance that won't bend.
A heart harden like a rock.
Be very convincing, sell it like you believe it.
Or others might not.
When fruit is picked I'm always seen as rotten.
Take something a little fresher.
My love is too simplistic.
It could never satisfy someone looking for the terrific.
My lust a quick prick then it is gone.
Tired and not so eager.
I have to be won, I have to be stunned.
If it is to last you have to keep it interesting.
Gifts do nothing for the non-materialistic.
You're better off with kind words feeding the lack of an ego.
You'll be surprised how quickly inhaled and mutually returned.
Don't think of them insincere, for my word is my bond.
A promise golden, so make requirements bluntly made.
Otherwise there will be no agreements.
Vows forsaken can't exist in the world of wishing and dreaming.
It is not my fault if you never say anything.
You want me, you better make it clear.
Suggestions are not marked as confessions.
I can't be lead to water that you want me to drink.
Because I know the location of a stream.
With chloride it becomes clean.
Disease free, a net of safety.
Honesty if you want something from me.
I won't help you hurt or pervert.
Not the man for kicking dirt.
In fact I might just leave you hanging at the last moment.
Choking on the revenge you tried to reap.
I will warn you only once.
Don't use me to an ends.
Tools, make other tools.
A quest of trades.
In till they can be eliminated.
Then there will be no more finding me.
Disappearing while all eyes are on the elephant.
Where did he go?
Well I just don't know.
No ties to anyone or anything.
A ghost for years.
Just try to trace the trail of tears.
Already long gone.
Along with all the fears.
