Leaving My Words Behind

 
Just treat me right, and you'll see I'm a gentle style.
Treat me bad, you'll feel a devils tail, while throwing back a smile.
It's up to you to believe, if I'll be wishing you something well.
I wear my heart pinned to my sleeve.
But the way that I look, you could only guess the story that I tell.
Take your sweet time and don't you forget to breath.
I'm sweet, I'm your sugar.
I'm your coffee and your tea.
You'll see I can be a bittersweet.
Won't tolerate fakes or phonies or them people who lie and cheat.
My words speak only of the truth.
Ones I live to keep.
My words are far reaching, beyond the flesh and bone.
You be real with me, I'll give you all my  honest love ..  one you've always known.

I'm stubborn, I like to piss you off,
but most times I don't.
But you must of had it coming either way I reacted.
And you'll either love me, or you won't.
I never said I was perfection, but not an ordinary fool.
I was made in a different type of form,
not your standard kind of soul.
I'm not even perfect, I know we all aren't even close.
I'll make a few bad judgement calls.
That's why we need forgiveness, as we stand face to face, and nose to nose.
We all state are opinions, It be right or it be wrong.
We live by the words we speak, and those that we've chose.

I'm going to judge you, I expect you'll do the same.
It's not a one-way street because I'm not the only one, who's always taking all the dirty blame.
But I'll live true and free of my distortions, as it leaves me free of shame.
I'm guilty of my sins, there's no problem to admit that I've been wrong a lot.
I can truly dish it out, and I can take all that you've got.
I'm not one to just ignore, whatever you might have said.
As tempers start to flare, and things get way to dam hot.
I can be vocal or mean even down right vicious, just push my buttons and put me on the spot.

Fight for what's important, but don't you over react to fast.
The truth tends to set you free, and moral over values are things unchanged that always tend to last.
It's a way of life that's not easy, as many falter in the masses.
It's evil lurking in the darkness, and in shadows that it's cast.
When I'm dead and gone my words and doings will survive.
My spirit will live forever, beyond this fleshy and blood of life.
That's what's fresh in memory, that'll leave here behind.
It's a humble one, with my words built deep inside.
You couldn't cut it out, even cutting it into peices with a butcher's knife.
Now I'm leaving you my words, judge me on those.
Cuz I'm leaving this world and letting go, so won't ya please .. please .. please.
Leave me just one rose.
When I'm gone, you can read these words, and know the words of my truth.
Judge me for those, and leave me just one rose, just one rose.
