But You Look Pretty

Help, I need help

but you look so pretty

can you chirp a little song?

yes, can you hum a little ditty?

and come on now, don't be silly

you're alright

you still look pretty

Please, I am weak

but your beauty must speak

for our eyes to have a feast

we know no imaginary beast

with your beauty, it shall cease 

No, oh no - this isn't fantasy

reality is situationally

there is a threat, something

harming me -

No matter how I look

You see ..

oh no that couldn't be

you are happy

full of glee

for you look pretty

yes, you are pretty

Well your ears cannot hear

and your heart cannot see

when your eyes keep saying to me

But. You. Look. Pretty
