“ABOUT US” 25 Mar 97

In the night of our sleep
I watch you breathe
I watch you dream
I only wish I was there
with you

Yes I love you
that much is true
You are beautiful -
but I will use you

Isn’t that what loves about?
Our children sleep in the next room
the TV speaks through paper walls

I will try not to abuse you
I will try not to lose you
through my selfishness
but I will do what is best for me

I will always take
more than I give
but love isn’t about what you take
or how much you give
You’re beautiful
and I will use you
I never said I’d be there for you
unless it suits me

Isn’t that what loves about?
