Smitten
If I was a kitten
Maybe I wouldn’t be so smitten
It’s as though I’ve been bitten
There is no chance
Of romance
Maybe under a different circumstance
Though it seems she was heaven sent
And I feel an urge to relent
It would likely lead me to repent
Don’t know why the attraction
Am I looking for some sort of satisfaction
Help me Lord to inaction
For I know not why there is this thing
Leading me to ponder a fling
Knowing it will only grief bring
Yet there it is this temptation
Is it there as some sort of revelation
Providing a piece of education
But alas with all my will
I bring a chill
To that part of me seeking a thrill
