only

I couldn’t be to you
What you deserve from me,
I couldn’t give you more
Than physical and material things.

The only three words
I could give you would be ‘coming over tonight?’
The only piece of me you’d get
Is what’s left over at the end of the day.

I could only give you attention
When there was no one else around.
I could only feel your touch
In secret and I don’t want that for you.

I can only feel this way in the dark depths of my dark dreams.
I can only feel this way when you’re nowhere near me.
