stronger you are, stronger we are

It's selfish of me, 
and purely too. 
The pure energy 
I pour into you 
and only the kind 
you feed and like 
I calculate how 
to make all 
alright. 

An ulterior move 
to be sure, and
you know. Full-open
and shut, and disclosed
for show 

I am making 
of you: 
a masterplan. 
You cooperate full, 
and away we ran 

Stronger you are,
Stronger we are. 
This is the deal, 
and you bet -
it's dealt. 
My weaknesses all
complement your strengths. 
Your meanest of motives 
redeemed by my 
intents, 

We melt 
to molten and forge 
our pure elements 
to strong alloys 
we cannot examine 
or analyze, or maybe 
we just don't care! 
Surprise! 

Stronger you are,
Stronger we are. 
This is the deal, 
and you bet -
it's dealt. 
My weaknesses all
complement your strengths. 
Your meanest of motives 
redeemed by my 
intents, 

or so 
we have always felt. 
And are willing 
to always feel
our way up 
Adjust as we go 
- if not on the fly, 
then out to high seas! 
Or down dank burrows

however we please

Stronger you are,
Stronger we are. 
This is the deal, 
and you bet -
it's dealt. 
My weaknesses all
complement your strengths. 
Your meanest of motives 
redeemed by my 
intents,

and purposes 
always so
intense, 
but of course 
you know that it's worthless 
if we can't come
to each other's defense. Lend strength
and encourage in innocence.

For my part, it's selfish
and pure, good sense. 
Stronger you are? 
Stronger we are, 
my investment in 
this 
is
the evidence.
