touched

i'm jealous

and inspired

gutted

you'd want me to be.

you originally

scared me

taught me

took sexy to a new level,

you were not brave

like a pioneer

you were a raw roar

you were all raw.

you were art

and in my heart i knew

you were giving all

you had to offer.

you dressed for success

pouted loud enough

to be heard over all

the other boys in town.

rock warrior to the end,

shake on you crazy diamond.
