Tonight man

Step right up one night only
Feel my skin, drive away the lonely
Lost in our base animal desire
Ripping and gnawing. All passion and fire.
To explore, to worship, to degrade.
All my moments given, all my attention paid
To you on this Night. This night and no more.
To make you my friend, my lover, my whore.
Cruel! They say from towers so high.
For shame! They shout without knowing why.
All I have to give is this night
And if I'm refused well, that's your right.
I see no point in telling white lies
Over pillow talk to complete some disguise.
Sweet nothings of forever will be disallowed.
For who am I to deny what I vow.
Lustful. It may be so.
Who am I to know?
Selfish, I may be. Well, probably true.
Does it really make a difference to you?
Call me what you will. A coward, a liar.
A slut. Maybe a man whore for hire.
A decade or more it's been only I.
I haven't been foolish enough to ask why.
So love or hate me or run away screaming
I don't spend hours at home alone scheming
On ways and means to bend you my will
I offer what I had then and what I have still
A few hours; of joy and laughter and lust.
Be gone if you will, and stay if you must.
