God Forbid Poem by Mark Heathcote

If only he'd stop playing around.
Stop toying with my mind
I might just fall under his spell
And march down the aisle hypnotised
'God forbid' I might fall in love.

If only he'd be a bit more grown up
Stop kicking footballs and drink less booze
I might be his one and only muse
The poetry he romantically craves
'God forbid' I might just fall in love.

But he'll never change enough to trust
He's a dark star in my heart.
Oh, how I wish he'd find someone else
But he has a hold on my heart.
'God forbid' he leaves me and finds somebody else.

There's no good place and time to realise
My heart can't disguise
He's my destiny, my love
He's under my skin.
'God forbid' I'm falling in love with him.
'Somebody save my skin.'

If only he'd stop playing around.
Stop toying with my mind
I might just fall under his spell
And march down that aisle hypnotised
'God forbid' I might fall in love and get hitched.
