Only Human After All, You See

The power of love ignites a flame Inside the heart I take over Both in substance and in name Though the four leaf clover I tender surrenders only the lust Flowing through me when I claim I love you and deserve the trust That can shield me from the blame You pour on me in return When your seething heart revolts At the way your heart I spurn and burn At thirty three thousand volts Without an iota of remorse For the egregious evil I perpetrate Playing your heart in code Morse As your purity I desecrate When another woman steals the love That rightly belongs to you But I feel so mighty above Blame for seeking someone new Shutting down my conscience in a cocoon Of selfish celebration While you cry all night long like a monsoon Poured tears into your deprivation As though you didn’t deserve better Than the puny attitude I couch in every little letter I send you without any shred of gratitude To express the regret Conscience forces on me In the open and in secret I’m only human after all, you see.
