Tell me about a person,
And don’t leave out any detail,
Tell me about a person,
And don’t tell me about their complexity,
Tell me about a person,
Without saying that they are a closed book,
For this is a book I’m so keen to read,
with each and every one of its pages,
Its vocabulary made clear for me to understand,
Do it before with them I have time to spend,
tell me about a person,
and for me highlight the word “understand”,
tell me about a person,
and get rid of some words,
words close to the one called “pain”,
I don’t want to hear about “betrayal”,
Oh please omit “heart ache”,
I’m saying forget “toxic”,
Build an imaginary vocabulary instead,
For I know I don’t want to be sad,
So exaggerate love in your story,
Speak of faithfulness many times,
Don’t declare selfishness!
And please! Oh please!
Don’t mention disappointment!
Your story has to be in my heart’s enjoyment,
deep down I know that’s quite a predicament,
so on second thought!
I don’t think I really want to know.
