Deadly Love

I saw her standing in the light
Her face a radiant glow
My heart it raced 
Then skipped a beat 
Her skin as white as snow

I went and said hello to her 
And heard her voice sing out
My skin got tight 
Then like a fright
My heart did faster go

Each time I got to meet her
Her inner beauty showed 
I stood amazed
With heart rate raised
True love did start to grow

I met her on a bright clear day
The question of my life
I bent the knee 
Then asked to see 
If she would be my wife

Her eyes looked down and with a frown
She answered me that day
You are my friend 
And not my love
I cannot marry thee

My heart was beating oh so fast 
My face did beetroot glow
My heart in pain 
It broke with strain
To end is pounding blows
