Pretend Not That You Love Me

THE MANY: I can see beneath your veil.... Pretend not that you love me While you profess to kill a harmless fly With a sledge hammer; And wickedly weld koboko without bathing an eyelid LOVE: Love is love; I never said love is blind If love is blind, There won't be love burn or heartache THE MANY: We can see beneath your veil.... Pretend not that you love us Our knuckles are grey from knocking, Our heels bruised, brutalized from seeking And our voices hoarse from asking While you wickedly weld koboko LOVE: Love is love; I never said love is blind If love is blind, There won't be love burn or heartache THE MANY: I can see beneath your veil.... Pretend not that you love me Your eyes do not stimulate love; Your eyes project hate, disdain Your lips do not speak the language of love, They are full of curses Your heart has no milk of human kindness It only knows how to weld the koboko LOVE: Love is love, I never said love is blind There won't be love burn or heartache If love is blind... THE MANY: I can see beneath your veil.... Pretend not....
