Your many stalkers

Your many stalkers

And sweet talkers

Could not hold a candle

Up to me

Even if they tried

Your many lovers

Run for cover

They cannot hold a candle

Up to me

Even if they tried

I am, you know, inspired

My heart, she is now fired

Doused in inspiration

Tinged with sweet sensations

When I see your face

Your many older brothers

And then, she your mother

Could not hold a candle

Up to me

Even if they tried

Your many teachers

And them prudish preachers

Can all hold up a candle

For me

When I am with you

Your many friends

Need not turn away, pretend

For they cannot hold a candle

Up to me

Even if they tried.

Your many saints and devils

Your mood swings, talking on levels

Cannot hold up a candle

To me

Even if they tried

Your many subtle defences

Irritate my senses

For they cannot hold a candle

Up to me

Even if they tried.

Your many parasites

Won’t warm you through the night

Only I have held a candle

Up for you

Each time that u’ve cried

Your bruises, love-bites

U hold on too tight

For you cannot hold a candle

Up to me

Even if you tried.

Your suspicious eyes

And lips that tell lies

Cannot hold a candle

Up to me

Even if they tried.
