A Monster - My Love Part V
The words of the young bush
Had struck a chord inside my heart
Yet unrehearsed, hopeless and in despair
Couldn’t throw away this love, this sacred part
To break these chains around my soul, I stood
In front of you, chest wide, wanting to say
‘I never, ever want to see you again’
But my tongue doesn’t flinch, heart doesn’t obey
The confusion on your face, about the sorrow in my eyes
Your right hand on my shoulder as you envelop me in your arms
Tears threaten to drip, yet your sweet smell once again
Makes me forget all the loveless, traps me in your charms
Holding onto this fragile thread, bound to break
Hopelessly attached, I couldn’t find the courage to let go
Your hand still on my shoulder makes me feel things I can’t explain
Other hand in mine, mind in trance, my brain becomes hollow
I realize your tricks, how you play with my heart
Without even being aware, how you mess me up
Making me battle for your attention, and award me
With soft, gentle hugs, never giving me enough
So innocent yet so cruel, for trapping me
In these chains, I can’t escape
A heartless beast like yourself
Doesn’t deserve my love anyway
Your heart was won by someone else
Yet I continue to fight in this battle I’d never win
Too strong this love has become, it’s no longer in my control
For I can’t understand my own heart, or who I am from within
Your beauty, your softness, your ecstasy may never stop enticing me
My heart may only beat for you, as you continue to play it without a thought
What would you a call someone who ruthlessly taunts a lovesick puppy
With its wildest dreams and groundless hope? A monster, that’s what.
