As before "what you do with your heart is your concern" Of all the things you've said, done or suggested, this is the scariest. Your statement implies that my heart and my feelings are no concern of yours. Well, I've "Been there, done that, not to be revisited." I'll lock it back up and loan you the shell And we'll play the games that you know so well- You thrill me and chill me and make me weak in the knees I'll play with you, stay with you, and do as you please But if my heart is my own and you want none of it And if the games that we play are the sum of it Then the games can continue BUT I'll know they're just that And I'll use and amuse you until it's old hat. The attitude changes, it won't have the same spark And it can't be your name I whisper at dark. If your heart isn't in it and nothing is real I'll do as we please and pretend not to feel Your eyes and your smile and your arms - oh, my! I cannot be with you and live in that lie My heart stays put, firmly on my sleeve, Until you claim it as yours - Or leave. And then the healing must begin again - But, that will be no concern of yours, will it? |
