The Girl From Kansas (Angel of Sadness)

The girl from Kansas asked “And you would never hurt me?” The voice of sadness replied I mean I would never hurt you intentionally But eventually My selfishness and bitterness would run you away Then again, alone, you would lay The girl from Kansas asked “I’ll be you know how to treat a lady” The voice of sadness replied Would you like me to hold your hand? When we sit, would you like my pride to stand Would you have me Kiss you just above you forehead Every night before you drift off And softly whisper I love you When even in my nightmares I only think of you You want this why? I’m no perfect lover I don’t know how to hold you when you cry The girl from Kansas asked “Why not give it a shot?” The voice of sadness replied Where do we go from here I wanna hold you, I wanna console you, but I’m afraid It’s your tears I fear
