Gentle Man

I may not be nice
I may not love you
But you’re safe here
I won’t hurt you … physically

I may not care much
about your feelings
You’re not safe here
I may scar you … emotionally

I promise I will always be
A gentle man
I may be rude
a little crude
And you may come to hate me
But I will always be
A gentle man
