I did not mean to burden thee,
I did not mean to cling.
I did not mean to weaken thee,
I just loved to watch you sing.
I did not mean to capture thee,
‘Twas not a ruse or scheme.
I only wished to worship thee,
And gifts of praise to bring.
But yet I see as years have passed
How like a lump I grew
As a tumour wrapped around your heart,
Sent destiny askew.
Cracked you are because of me,
Shattered now because I came/
Forever entwined you cannot walk,
And I too am the same.
I did not mean to ruin thee,
did not mean to tear down from above,
the beauty that is all you are.
I did not mean to love.
