Unconditional love is a Fallacy. In marriage, our kids, anything,
there is a breaking point. There is a point where we say "No."
We may still love them, but have to cut the ties until there is some
substantive change in the other person.

To me, the only one who I can ever say "But you didn't" to is Jesus
Christ, God incarnate. Fully man, and took a beating for me, for us.

I've noticed you are really into this "but you didn't" stuff. It's very
interesting. Congrats

The tone is different depending on the line

Remember the time you lent me your car and I dented it?
I thought you'd kill me…
But you didn't.

Remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was
formal, and you came in jeans?
I thought you'd hate me…
But you didn't.

Remember the times I'd flirt with
other boys just to make you jealous, and
you were?
I thought you'd drop me…
But you didn't.

There were plenty of things you did to put up with me,
to keep me happy, to love me, and there are
so many things I wanted to tell
you when you returned from
Vietnam…
But you didn't.

That was done in Shakespeare's time, but not anymore. Playwrights did that when in the plot when there was a lot of significance or importance that gave it a transcendent quality, as though it were coming from a higher or spiritual world in a language that was mystical appearing in rhymes and meter, as though it were more harmonious than our lower world.

The Boat

Beyond freezing, I pressed on, and knew I was close to it
I could feel the smell of gopher wood, today called cypress
Just as they said in the Bible, am about to find out the truth
As I crossed over a sastruga, I felt a whiffling cross my face

No ordinary puff of air, no bullets to draw attention to rebellow
Rather deadly quarrel from a crossbow, and another, now dozens
There were rumors this place was protected so no one would know
Why not just destroy the boat once for all, remove any doubt?

The vein of arrows abated, I realized she was too large to raze
Twenty four hour guard, this weather, God's balls I give them credit
Ten men or a hundred, it would take an army from God to stop me
Seeing that I had the true God on my side, it's time to go to work

I crossed a hummock and claimed cover from them, who? Infidels?
As I peered over an icy ledge, I saw what an inselberg this was
Mount Ararat, conquered by few, and now my quarry > the boat
Get past these fools, and the treasure of Noah's Ark is leveraged

Do these men even know who I am? and what misery they are in for?
All of them are about to die in the name of their god, or whatever
Times I wish I could say "you have no chance" let them live, but no way
My name is Nicholai Hel, otherwise known as The Celibate Monk

In search for Noah's Ark and the treasures that rest within
