Elicit The Love Affair



Elicit The Love Affair
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Saturday, October 3,2015

I discern that we just met
But your face I soon shall not forget
I know you want to be with me
And I know how it could also be
I know you also have someone
For tonight you're just having fun
I know the type of person that I am
And I shouldn't even give a damn

But it hurts to truly know
That comes the dawn you'll have to go
It's impossible for you to stay with me
And this is all it will ever be
You belong to another
And I really shouldn't bother
It's just too much to bear
For tonight is a lonely love affair

I see that you took off your wedding ring
And for you, this is just a weekend fling
Virtues don't mean to you a single thing
Batter's up he takes a swing
You want to pull at my heartstrings
Only to memories the fool clings
Birds cannot fly without their wings
Underneath it all the memories stings

I know this is just for one night
You'll be gone by first light
Feelings are hidden in decomposing loam
For a house is not always a happy home
The night is filled with overtones
But a home is more than bricks and stones
The things that we put ourselves through
For these feelings are untrue
I know you don't love me do
And I know I don't love you too

Which kind of evil is lesser than
Short is the human lifespan
Reckless the passion can hurt the brand
For alcohol makes it hard to withstand
Heralding night out you party
Intoxicated and feeling naughty
Toasted to a liquid lunch
I've got a hunch I'll do in a crunch

As far as I can see
This night is totally crazy
Someone is home waiting there
But right now you don't care
The things you do they're unaware
Your heart is truly in disrepair
Lifted on high your fitted blouse
Premises entered someone else house

The music played so loud
Made my way through the crowd
Slow danced to a love song
Feeling giddy like nothing is wrong
Never hesitated or stopped to think
Long is the night having too much to drink
Encouraged close by that certain wink
Bodies collided perfectly in sync

What is done cannot be undone
Got to rise and face the morning sun
Lies now needs to be spun
You've got to go you're on the run
Burdens bear more than a ton
Valor lost the village will shun
The race was lost before it even begun
Surprised and stunned for nothing was won
