(Drawing by H.J. Ford of Posthumous and Imogen (late 19th century))
For just a moment
I need your attention
So I can reveal my sorrow
I didn’t mean to hurt you
Certainly not to banish you far away
I did send you packing
Hoping you really wouldn’t go
I can’t believe you didn’t notice
My hesitation during your last glance
I spent this whole time hoping
That you would return to me some day
Telling me how much you needed me
That your heart could no longer be happy
Unless we were to be as one
Tonight
I hope our tainted love can be revived
For my heart has sat in darkness since you’ve been gone
In your absence I’ve lived in the shadows of everyone elses love
Now it’s our turn
Wont you please return your love to me
Our Tainted Love©
