I Don'T Want To Fall Apart
Take her away!
O, what am I to do?
When she already has one,
how could her and I be two?
And yet she must have
some channel to my mind,
for she seems to speak in ways
that drive my reason blind.
Day by day the web spins,
wrapping softly around me.
And with every careless whisper,
I yearn to be less free.
It may not be her fault,
but if not surely then,
I've fallen far in love with her,
God only knows well when.
Yet tortured by her lips so cruel,
or tortured by my pining heart,
I know I'm tearing at the seams,
and I don't want to fall apart.
