Confused Soul


I hate you But then I love you And I cannot explain why Heart palpitations quicken  When you are near me I know you could feel those beats As I could feel yours Hands get palmy Mind is racing What are you doing to me I wish I knew this spell you put upon me Days will pass and I will forget you Sunny days will bask my window pane And I am reminded of carefree days past When I never knew you And you never knew me Then there you are And the memories will rush back all over again the walks The laughs The warm embrace The yearnings for more that we cannot have I try shooing them away  But its hard When you are there, facing me With those dark, sad eyes Marks with the wounds of a POW that nearly kill  But I feel my kiss will save you And if it didn't At least you know that I love you But does it make a difference You still hate me And I still hate you But from across the room I know your heart yearns for me as it does for you But it does not matter Because I am not for you
