Though much water has flown under the bridge,
I'm stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea;
The feelings are fast freezing in the fridge,
Baby, you are too close my tears to see.

I just can't get over you, I've tried and tried,
All those promises are coming back to me;
I am haunted by the beast of the past that lied
But that's the only Beauty to survive me.

Love for love's own sake, reasons were just fake,
How in pure rhyme we revelled like gods;
Now even the Afterlife is at stake,
Losing all the defences, I'm off guards.
