SVENGALI

I don't think it matters what you think

and, really, it never did.

It has always taken two to tango

and two to stop

and if you wish to be quits of me

that's your concern

but I'll have none of it

until I choose to.

You cannot be free of me

unless I wish it.

You will not be able to go on

until that's what I allow.

I am the one who decides for you

as it always has been

and nothing

NOTHING you believe

will change that.

This, as ever,

is my ship

and I will sail it wherever I opt

with whomever.

So you may seek to be at liberty

but as always, it's up to me.

And despite your request

I'm not ready to quit.

You cannot fire me

unless I will it.
