Damnable

put a curse on me
put a curse on her too
put a curse on all that 
love's put us all through

damned be the love i feel
even though i know it's real

cursed be her tea rose lips
cursed be her well curved hips
curse me by her tantalizing tongue
cursed be my thoughts among

those damned by love that we feel
even though we know it's real

cursed forces beyond our control
curse the rut, the drop, the hole
these curses feel so damn good
curse this love misunderstood

damned be the love that you feel
even though you know it's real

curse the words, utterances mouthed
curse the desires you have aroused
curse my mind, my heart, my soul
curse me, this want beyond control

damned be the love i feel
even though i know it's real

i take an oath before all earth
a solemn vow of our love's worth
be damn anyone who would misconstrue
swear you love me like i love you

this is a really fun one to read! In a way it was kind of like reading modern shakespeare or something, if that makes any sense!! (and yes, I am sure glad I am a girl!!)
