NEVER IN LOVE

The concept of love pleases me
I can think of being in love
I dream of being carried away
I smile thinking of things to say
I long to embrace feelings
That may make my life as special as they all say
I aim to be in love one sweet day

Of course I will not do any
Of these silly things
My head controls everything
And my heart must subserviently follow
I am serious and love my doubts
I am forever mindful of all I say
I think and think before I do
Love lacks seriousness
And I like being blue

I am likely to be brash and say go away
I will not allow you a cuddle
Until I have had my say
I am a thorn covered in velvet
Be careful how you play
I will do all to force you to go your own way
I prefer being with myself
I do not need anyone else
In my life any day

It is a lonely life they will say
I will do as I wish come what may
I will wallow in selfish pride
I will forever seek to hide
I live only for my lonesome pride

Love please go away
I have myself And that is how it will stay
I am meant only for me
I see no need for trivial company
