I mustn’t be cheap

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My anguish is that

Men must take notice of me,

Must secretly dwell on me

And take with them my image

To get tormented with.

They mustn’t say to me,

‘You are beautiful.’

They can hint at it,

‘How nice your dress is!’

I don’t want to be cheap

To make them bold.
