He is not he

Nikki Lauder 1979 (Taumaranui)

Free verse
He is my weakness
He is my love
He was sent to me
From somewhere above

He is my solace
He is my muse
He is seductive
A charm I couldn't refuse

He is my protector
He is my friend
He is my tailor
My soul to mend

He is my heart
He is my thought
He is the partner
I had always sought

He is my friend
He is my man
And I will always
Be his greatest fan

He is not there
He is not he
He has gone away now
And my all is me
