What Am I To Do

What am I to do with these thoughts?
I cannot help or stop my heart to feel
Feeling pain, I never wanted nor sought
But without it, I would break and kneel
 
In prayer, I seek to know the truth
To understand how I was caught
Caught in love? Please don't assume
As it was never something I sought
 
The prayer is simply a question asked
How am I to break this powerful chain?
Beautiful is the bond. As a matter of fact
Though it drives me completely insane
 
Sadness to happiness, you control my mood
A world turned upside down with your look
In your beauty, happily, I become subdued
To explain it fully would take an entire book
 
But it is a book I would be willing to write
This story over and over till you finally see
My testament to you because of my plight
I've fallen in love wholeheartedly with thee
