To the Lady I Never Love

Maybe a jerk I am For making away with your precious heart With this little smile of mine. Maybe a bigger jerk I am For not dotty about it. I know the softness of your touch That could make a doll speaks Would melt not the stone in my heart. I know in a room filled With thousands of people Those bright blue eyes of yours Would Only seek mine. The way you held me so tight All through the night Make it all conscience-stricken 'Cause you love me so much still Even when you know I can't love you It's all an unsolvable riddle Why the magnet in my heart Would resist the forces from yours. Others stare at you You stare at me But, I stare away. You breathe me in And wear me around as a crest. But I breathe air and nothing more. It all pricks 'Cause you love me so much still Even when you know I don't love you.
