Do not expect too much from me I’d say Do not expect anything at all I could melt away Any second
Change my mind And then you’d so easily Get into that disappointment That disaffection The devastating ruins Of rejection Long ago I also...
But it all disencumbers Skeptically As I also Long ago. So long? And now...
Do not live in the hope That who knows Maybe some day Everything might be different.
Do not expect so much from me I’d say You’d better not I could not guarantee
Keep for yourself that sympathy Today I can give all this Tomorrow who knows Nobody knows Well, I try to know
I am not into commitments These days Or any other Of any kind
Too many vague affairs Too many dull gaps In a life of dreadful enticement
Do not pose there waiting Hoping Expecting anything from me
Been scorched, scalded And then frozen, wilted, Sunk- Where I stand And I’ll widen Better, lighten Only to escape from what From me you expect. ___________________________________________________________________
