I Assumed You Loved Me

And so I see your moving mouth Not a coherent word my ears hear uttered I must not assume You're apologizing for the affair For your love I now rival For your heart I now lust And I think she must too lust Lustful for those lips on your mouth I am certain she’s my rival Cursed words I have uttered They did little to suspend the affair I must not assume I must not assume You are not subject to lust Lust fuels the fire of this affair Again curses fly from my mouth Dirty words from your lips are uttered Into the ear of my sole rival The war wages against my rival I must not assume All words between us uttered Lacking love, losing lust I long to hit you squarely in the mouth I long to banish remnants of this affair You repeatedly indulge in your affair And spoil my rival By kissing her demon mouth I must not assume It cannot be love but only lust Evil wishes against her I have uttered Hopeful wishes she has uttered Longing for more than the affair Love is blossoming from her lust ‘Til death do us part her I’ll rival I must not assume That you meant it when the words I love you left your mouth From your mouth your love you've uttered I must not assume it was not of the affair Your mightiest rival is lust
