I can't afford you kindness as of late
I have become that man whom I despise
I damn you, handsome captain of my hate
Your talents, they are various and great
I see them drying in my lady's eyes
I can't afford you kindness as of late
You are the agent of that god and state
whom women are to worship with their thighs
I damn you, handsome captain of my hate
I am devoured, pinned beneath night's weight
You mount your waiting horse in light's disguise
I can't afford you kindness as of late
You have a thousand other girls to sate
You know the secrets of their bodies' cries
I damn you, handsome captain of my hate
You mutineer, once the lowly mate
You villain of my villanelle and prize
I can't afford you kindness as of late
I damn you, handsome captain of my hate
