Confined Love
Confined Love
Some man unworthy to be possessor
Of old or new love, himself being false or weak,
Thought his pain and shame would be lesser
If on womankind he might his anger wreak,
And thence a law did grow,
One might but one man know;
But are other creatures so?
Are Sun, Moon, or Stars by law forbidden
To smile where they list, or lend away their light?
Are birds divorced, or are they chidden
If they leave their mate, or lie abroad a-night?
Beasts do no jointures lose
Though they new lovers choose,
But we are made worse than those.
Who e’er rigged fair ship to lie in harbours
And not to seek new lands, or not to deal withal?
Or built fair houses, set trees, and arbors,
Only to lock up, or else to let them fall?
Good is not good unless
A thousand it possess,
But dost waste with greediness.
John Donne

Just another grey autumn day
You’re the sunshine trying to break through
No I never imagine that my path would lead to you
A look in your eyes as they met mine
Seem to say we’re the same
In so many ways
Though we’re worlds apart
I will promise you
I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
There are so many reasons to keep us apart
But it won’t stop me losing
My mind or my heart
What would I give
To touch your hand
Oh just feel your skin
I’d breathe you in
Could this ever be
You’ll be next to me
No I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
I know myself so well
But I’ve never been here before
You’re just out of my reach
But I will be here
Of that you can be sure
Can be sure
It’s another grey autumn day
You’re the sunshine trying to break through
I can only imagine that I’m walking with you
I realise if you were mine
We may fall apart
Oh you’d have my heart
There’s too many things between you and me
No I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
No I won’t I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
No I won’t I won’t let you down
No I won’t I won’t let you down
No I won’t I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
You’re the sunshine trying to break through
No I never imagine that my path would lead to you
A look in your eyes as they met mine
Seem to say we’re the same
In so many ways
Though we’re worlds apart
I will promise you
I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
There are so many reasons to keep us apart
But it won’t stop me losing
My mind or my heart
What would I give
To touch your hand
Oh just feel your skin
I’d breathe you in
Could this ever be
You’ll be next to me
No I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
I know myself so well
But I’ve never been here before
You’re just out of my reach
But I will be here
Of that you can be sure
Can be sure
It’s another grey autumn day
You’re the sunshine trying to break through
I can only imagine that I’m walking with you
I realise if you were mine
We may fall apart
Oh you’d have my heart
There’s too many things between you and me
No I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
No I won’t I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
No I won’t I won’t let you down
No I won’t I won’t let you down
No I won’t I won’t let you down
No I won’t let you down
