Tormented By Love


from the ABC set poemsbypaulmccann

When I close my eyes I can see ,
her face is always there with me
I find it hard to sleep at night ,

Its unfair and its just not right ,
to be tormented by love yeah
and theres not more I can say

It takes just one look and I know
how much I really love her so
but then I can tell by her eyes that I’m not really recognized ,
for goodness sake ,
it seems so wrong ,
I’m tormented and can’t go on .

There’s someone else that she admires
and he fills her head with desires ,
Every day , I think of her
And I hear them say , forget her
but they don’t care .
I’m tormented
Yes I’m tormented , demented .

Well I love her more everyday ,’
and I can’t help feeling this way
But Will she ever change her mind ,’
Doesn’t it seem its so unkind
But – I know just where I belong .
For - I know my love is so strong
