Soft and Rich

Never try to say the moon
Won’t sing in her familiar tune
Of disappointment, soft and rich
And never try to tell me when
I’ll need the sharpened pen again
For I feel nothing but a twitch
A broken foot that never ran
Adhered to the heel of man
A disappointment, soft and rich
You can’t tell me that I am more
Then kick me, throw me, to the floor
Until I am nothing but a twitch
‘cause when I hear you say you’ll wait
I know I’m easy to replace
Your disappointment is soft and rich
For I feel nothing but a twitch
