Seduce Me Not

Seduce me Not-
Seduce me not ...
For I have so Little to give you
For you to be takin' what little ive Got! ...

Seduce Me Not!/

I am Drained emotionally
(Seduce me no-t!)
Caus I'm bankrupt of All--Sympathy.
With a reassuring Smile and Grin
Don'-do-it, Caus I 'ready Have-been;--

Deceived by your Emty Promises--
To caress my Aching Spiritial tendons
(That bleed, that Bled)
With Nourishing (aliment)-
But instead
you deserted me/
Hungry and unfed
Bookless and unread;
O well ...
I'll jis' go  
an'
Play My piano. 
Or ShouldI sing oh Lorde,
ShouldI sing?
SouldI Sing (oh Jesus), ShouldI Sing?
