rules of engagement

 
god, I'm hurting
I want to tell you I love you
but it's against the rules
we don't do that
it's inconsiderate to be so forward

I know you love me
you've told me so
but you don't want those words from me
perhaps it would hurt too much
I'm taken and I wouldn't fit in your world

you like sampling my world
but you don't want to cross over
into the madness that is me

so I keen in the dark
I weep I'm not enough
I cry I'm too much
it hurts down deep

my lips whisper I love you
I'm needing you tonight
don't turn off the light
I'm here waiting on your affection

it's bitter in the cold
Sadistic, when you say no
the rules of our engagement
