Don’t love me she said in her head to the dead For I can’t love you back, your soul is in bed Whether it is up or its down, in the clouds or the flames I can’t love you back and it’s an awful shame I feel you here, there’s fear and tears I should be scared but your presence steers Me somewhere I know, I trust, I go Somewhere where there’s both friend and foe You make me feel sound, soul round, mind bound Strange that up or down you put me on ground Ground that is solid under my shaking feet I may sit in a chair but you are the seat You hold me, console me, control me You presence will grab tightly and have me wholly You whisper you love me when its dark and I’m in bed But I can’t love you back, for you are the dead
