Out of Love

I don't want to believe in love
Not the kind I used to dream of
It doesn't mean
As much to me
As it used to mean
It would be the very tide
That takes me out to sea
From where I would not return
'Lost at sea'
Is what they'd say of me
I think I'd rather be stranded
Rather than being landed
In hot water again
Skin melting off my bones
Crushing me into dust with stones
I'm not fifty feet tall
Nor am I two inches tall
Even if I felt much too small
Smaller than I can recall
But that's not the point at all
I'm not afraid to fall
In love
I'm afraid to fall
Out of love
