On a pedestal high up on a shelf
There above me alone you sit by yourself
Out of reach to men not unlike myself
It’s not your fault I blame only myself
I will never be the love that you seek
Nor for your heart shall I ever compete
You were not meant for the old and the weak
And yet your kindness has been so discreet
Protecting the nest from misguided ways
Subtly, gently you kept me at bay
And failing to stop, to not go away
You disappeared from sight, faded to gray
So now for me your message is clear
Sober at last you have nothing to fear
Your heart is your own
Your heart must be free
So staying alone
I will let your heart be
Know only this, if there’s ever a need
In me you are safe from all lust and greed
Unconditionally yours forever I’ll be
