Not All Men Are The Same

I see dear, that you've become afraid of love
Because of the boy who left without a word
You never ran out of things to say to him
When you were together
The conversations began at dawn
And continued till moonlight broke in through the clouds
But he could not find the right words
To say goodbye
No words would have been right.

I see dear, that you're afraid of touch now
Because of the man, years older
Who quietly touched you as a child
In places where it hurt
You didn't cry back then, you were too young to feel pain
To understand that some men can be monsters
But the pain comes back to you in moments of silence
As you lie in the arms of another man
No noise can drown it out.


I see dear, you have become afraid of smiles
For your father came home smiling
Each time he had a little too much to drink
After having spent the night in the arms of a woman
Who wasn't your mother
But you loved him back then and you love him still
You never had the courage to hate.


I see dear, your faith dwindles
And your heart trembles
Each time you come across a man
Who makes you believe in a better tomorrow
The words they say seem like elements of fiction
The promises they make seem to be made of glass
But, my dear, just once
Once
Just once
Don't see the present from the prism of the past
Don't make your future a hostage of your experiences
Take your time,
Unravel my sides
Tell me your fears
Not all men are the same, my dear
Not all men are the same.
