Hopelessly

Darling, O Infatuation
Caught in your clichéd spell
A well-framed look, a splitting smile
My give-away, my tell

The moment I am free of you
Again you catch my eye
And whisper every honeyed word
With lips I can't deny

Darling, O Infatuation
How useless to protest
With heart and soul and mind so charmed
By the fruits of your unyielding quest

How laundered is this heart of mine
Sewn, sleeve after sleeve
Yet you take me arm in arm once more
And tempt me to believe

That darling, O Infatuation
This time you'll follow through
And lead me to a love divine,
Patient, faithful and true.
