I Wish

I wish I hadn’t told you Or…covered the truth with lies But you’d know the way I feel Cause it’s written in my eyes Or maybe you can hear it When you’re standing close to me The pounding of my poor heart As it struggles to be free I know you cannot fathom How I could love you this way You just smile and look amused Thinking this is all child’s play Perhaps I AM quite childish Impulsive in all I do But beware, I’m ALL woman… A woman obsessed by you! You believe it’s just a phase This craze is not meant to last If only you could know, dear That I’m going downhill fast I have no way to fight it For my heart my will denies My soul is so tormented There are cracks in my disguise Resolved, I keep my distance For I know you are not brave But your heart must surely know Your presence is what I crave To touch you is forbidden To worship you is pure sin Heaven help this poor woman There is no way that I can win!
