I Don't Bother Dreaming of You Anymore

You don’t need any flowers
You don’t want true love
You’re into chasing and making money
There’s no room in your life for more

I chased you with flowers
Fresh roses in full bloom
And encased your life with art
I made your life a love filled fantasy

Being a very old soul
I know my real worth
You couldn’t see beyond my art
So I walked away and closed the door

You appreciate the finer things
You cherish 24 karat gold
But my love’s a blue diamond
Freely given, but can’t be bought or sold

Although I have been taken
You’ve been framed for life
I was looking for a beginning
But was sadly set aside in the end

I gave you my hand
Wiped away all your tears
Created for you a living opera
But you chose material wealth over true worth

I have retained my honor
My fraternal family’s love too
I don’t speak of gifts given
For my word is more solid than stone

(Speaking Part)
“My services are no longer given.”
I simply don’t bother dreaming (Pause) About you (pause) Anymore.

Videography:
I’m wearing a black tuxedo, Shrine Fez, and black facial mask walking in a sacred grove at night in winter (Film on February 14th). Throughout the song he is holding a red rose in full bloom. At the end of the song, he arrives to a Masonic temple and removes his Fez upon arrival and is invested with his apron by several brethren. The scene shifts to the cover of my novel.
