I Love a Woman

I love a woman who doesn't love me,
She is as lovely as she can be,
A beautiful shining delight,
But with a heart as black as the night.

She is the love of my life,
But she cuts me like a knife,
She couldn't care if I exist,
Her powers are impossible to resist.

I know what she is doing to me,
But I don't want to be free,
I love a woman who doesn't love me,
I am blind as blind can be.
