OctPoWriMo 2016: Day 30: Simplicity



Simplicity
A duet between the living and the Undead

Her:
To love you would be simplicity, except I'm so afraid
Of being used by another liar in the lying liars parade
You're so perfect, you're so fine
You've stolen my heart and stolen my mind
You say you want to be mine, but I'm afraid if you get too close
You'll disappear along with my heart just like Casanova's ghost

Him:
To love you would be simplicity, except you won't let me in
Our love ain't got a chance to end if you won't even let it begin
I like being by your side, it's something I don't want to quit
Let me show you how I feel for you, even just a little bit
I ain't no Casanova, no Hugh Hefner, no Don Juan
I only want to love you, never want to do you wrong

Her:
Love ain't no simplicity
Love will be the death of me

Him:
If you let me give my love to you
There ain't nothing we can't do

Her:
I want to let you love me
I want to let you close
But I can't help wondering how many other girls
Love my pretty little ghost

Him:
They can love me all they want to
But I won't let them near
It's only your love that I want
Only you I want for my dear

Her: 
I'm gonna let you love me
I'm gonna let you try
But I promise you're gonna suffer
If you ever make me cry

Him:
I never want to leave you
Never want to make you afraid
If anything I do ever grieves you
You can send me back to my grave 

Her:
It would be simplicity to let you in

Him:
Then let me in
And we can begin

Both:
A love that's for eternity
A love that lasts forever
May not be simplicity
But we'll work to stay together

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
