Platonic Feelings
There's no doubt
you found out
the many affairs I hid
in a slick way...
they are exposed
and can't be ignored
they surely hurt!
Ah! Platonic feelings do much harm,
they don't wake us up with an alarm;
sweet are the adventures we pursue,
we won't stop 'till reality makes us blue!
I can't stand jealous eyes
when they stare so angrily;
nothing I do can stop them now:
so sorry that my commitment failed,
so fake were the words I whispered!
I betrayed the one I adored madly,
nothing I say can change tomorrow,
I have to pay and go away!
Time is passing slowly,
I gave up on true love for folly,
joy is not real happiness,
it doesn't last an eternity;
it's not found in strangers arms:
it's an escape for cheating hearts!
Do you have a wish for yourself?
Do you long for devotion and honesty?
Then, give up all platonic feelings
that do much harm constantly;
how lonely is the one who stares
at your charming picture on the shelf!
