Analysis of all the things men bring me

Kate Ford 1987 (Boston, MA)



drugs, cigarettes, insults and lies
these are the things men bring me
blood tinged lust and violence fueled love
these things too men bring me

betrayal and candy, the bitter turned sweet
the men sure love to bring me
trivial trinkets and travesties
customized men bring me

if led to me, I'll part all seas
born of all the tears they've brought me
phallic weapons and crocodile tears
(all men guaranteed will bring you)
