Above

 

Above

 

You know what you’ve done

you’ve ignited my fire

this burning of my heart

has set me on a pyre

 

I’d love to be your lover

but you’d deny me with shame

we’d both be so innocent

but I’d really be to blame

 

I shall earn your love

what to do I don’t know

don’t say you do in pity

true feelings please show

 

I know that for now that all

you want is to be a friend

but I’d love it to be so much more

so much before the end

 

As you continually evade ardor

my heart’s strength you sap

A commitment is needed soon

to hopefully bridge the gap

 

Maybe of you I’m not worthy

maybe I’m just a fool

To ever think I you’d love

Life would be so cruel

Our time I hope shall come

I’ll come on my hands and knees

I’ll beg for your hand so fair

upon my lips the one word please

 

But if you do to me deny

then to you I shall tell

that from such deep heartbreak

shall come the torment of hell

 

To me such an anguish

I’d never again love

but then again

to the world’s above
