Did you turn back
The night you left
Did you take many
steps
And never forget my
words
Does she stand
there, so close
And change to my
silhouette
Like a ghost, (you
let)
Do you ever ache
with her cheek to yours
As I spill through
her pores
And you smile a
smile that she doesn’t know
And can not see
A happiness held by
me
I saw you long after
that night
As though I was just
some girl, chained
A prisoner, forbidden
to even say hello
Only to gaze at you
within the shade
Near that old
majestic tree
And you stood under
the sun
With her
Tempting me to
commit things
I should not do
I kissed the circles
of what you said
I touched your hair
as you nodded your head
I was the scholar of
your heart again
Held firmly inside
your arms
Until brought back
by the scratch of earth
My conscience
warning me to not be foolish
And to stay far from
you
Obeying it was as
tiring as a mountain climb
Like being punished
by a jilted Queen
Love, all the
strength I had
Was to pray
And walk away
Leaving you in the
distance
Your smile was the
last thing I saw
As you slowly looked
over your shoulder at
Nothing at all
Oh love, did you feel me!
And now I regret
that day
You are not my
right, I know
I will stay far
away,
As obedient as I am
Alone.
