The Truth Ain't Pretty!

You aroused my mind with intellectual banter
Keats or Rossetti, the content didn't matter
It was the fact we could for hours chatter
Just argueing over beauty and truth.
You made love to me with words and ideas
We shared together both of our fears
You gave me wisdom from your years
And you delighted over my youth.
But it's more than your speech that arouses me now
And I need to get out but I don't know how
You'll never leave her for me, I know that now
It's the truth, but it ain't pretty!
