I'll Make You Mine

I lay in my bed
And I think of you
My flesh is on fire
And my blood is, too
I see you each day
And my longing grows
I'm in love alone
You don't even know
That I dream of you
Asleep and awake
That I long to be
The one you take
For your very own
To have and to hold
To be with always
But that is my goal
To make you aware
Of the love I feel
To reach for my dream
And to make it real
I want your body
Oh yes, that's quite true
But much more than that
I want all of you
I want your desire
And all of your heart
I want your promise
That we'll never part
And all of these things
I will soon possess
I am determined
Won't settle for less
And the night will come
When you share this bed
But now I'm alone
With my dreams instead
So I'll make my plans
And I'll bid my time
Because in the end
I know you'll be mine

Always Reeling

Secret yearnings, strong and real
So hard to hide what I feel
Wanting you with passion great
Feelings that are now innate
I keep them deeply buried
Though constantly I'm harried
My need is forever hot
And I've come to hate the spot
In which I live, that binds me
I want so much to be free
To take that which I desire
But I'm stuck here in this mire
Freedom will never be mine
Circumstances won't align
I'm stuck in this endless loop
Knowing that I won't recoup
The wanting will never stop
And I know I'll never drop
The standards to which I hold
They mean more to me than gold
So I live my life in need
Knowing I will never cede
To the weakness of my flesh
Though assailed with yearnings fresh
My will is unshakeable
My vows are unbreakable
But I can't stop the feelings
That keep me always reeling
