I can no longer abide
the pain which has
bewitched my heart,
I can no longer abide
the loneliness that
hides my soul,
I can no longer abide
your guiltless manner,
I can no longer abide
to believe true love
will one day be mine,
I can no longer abide
this heart of mine,
I can no longer abide
the saddness in your eyes
or the pretense you
hide behind,
I can no longer abide
the secrets you keep,
I can no longer abide,
the careless way you speak,
I can no longer abide
or deny the love I feel
inside,
for to deny the truth of
what has kept my sanity
and my soul alive,
you would no longer abide
or even be by my side,
for we abide together
we are one in the same
with hearts so tender
this is why I can no longer abide.....
