I Don'T Love You

I do not love you and I never will Your face and lines read like a book from hell You stamp out the light from the stars above And proceed to consume the souls of love I refuse to concede to all your whims By grace I escaped in the knick of time

We can relate to this, John. Narrowly escaping the clutches of a bad relationship. Well illustrated.

Thank you very much for your kindness. It’s an all too familiar subject I’m afraid.
