Its Not My Fault

Yah! You have said,
Its madness,
That has taken over me,
And I am controlled,
By evil spirits,
When I say I love you.

It’s not my fault,
To fall for you,
To like you,
To desire you,
To need you,
But it’s my love for you.

It’s not my fault,
To spend sleepless nights,
Thinking about you,
Dreaming about you,
But it’s my love for you,
Love that you fail to see.

You say,
I am not,
Your anointed,
Your appointed,
Your chosen,
But I love you,
And it’s not my fault.

It’s not my fault,
To kneel before you,
And beg like a starving child,
To cry every day,
In your presence,
But it’s because of the love,
The love I have harbored for you. 

If only you would open your heart,
And see the passion,
The affection,
I have for you,
And the oceans of my love,
My love for you,
You will know,
It’s not my fault.
