I Can Not Love You
I can not love you open and free
In the sunlight for all to see
Yet you are the carnation of sparks
the fire lets loose
And I am the thirsty wood
caught in your noose
And I love you deep
Like the black of the crow
In secret between my shadow
And my soul
I love you with the heart that cries
And lets loose the moan of a thousand sighs
I love you because I know no other way than this
For Cupid's arrow my heart did kiss
I love you more than silver
more than diamonds or gold
or any gem the earth could hold
Yet i can not love you
but love you I do
So my heart stills and weeps
As you close your eyes and fall asleep
