Don't

I don't want to condescend.
I just want to be your friend.
I don't want to drive your car.
I just want to make a start,
With you.

I don't want to touch your lace.
I just want to touch your face.
But everytime I reach for you,
You say you don't want me to.

You say-Don't
Don't hold my hand.
Y'don't understand.
Don't push to hard.
Don't go to far-don't.

You don't seem to be concerned,
When you make my body burn.
You don't want to torture me.
It's just a little purgatory.

I don't want to call you names.
You insist on playing games.
When I try to state my case.
You just put me in my place.
You say,

Don't.

Will you walk with me?
Will you talk with me?
Open your heart and be human to me.

It's not fantasy.
It's reality.
The need for you that's consuming me.

I don't want to tempt no fate.
You just won't communicate.
When I try some sympathy,
You just turn your back on me.

You say Don't...
