who is a gentleman?
what is a gentleman?
it does not mean gentle man.
it is someone who hides behind a mask
a mask of polite nothingness,
a mask of toy soldier chivalry,
a mask that makes a woman hopeful
that he is not like the rest.
hope springs eternal that this is the one,
one worthy of love.
like a ghost from a bygone era
or a lost thought of a dream
he brings hope.
it is a false hope.
it means nothing.
the mask only hides the true intentions
to take your heart
and to leave you without it.
