Lethality
Sometimes a distant coldness in your eyes, is implied
Holds my love at arms-length, afraid to let me inside
If I could only ease your pain - give you some release
If I could wash away your hurt and give your soul some peace
Could shame shelter you if boldness took over your actions?
A condescending paralyzation to fear my reactions?
Or is there nothing to be said, no slowly igniting flame?
Could you honestly suppress your heart at the sound of my name?
Or could you, yet, be waiting for better things to come along?
Too enamoured with what you're missing to do me anything but wrong?
Likely story is the case
You're far away in my embrace
Day by day, my heart becomes ice
As my love is denied and sacrificed
Darling captiva, locked in your arms
As you ravage and destroy me
with the lethality of your charms

Lucky shall be the man
Who wins my nontacit heart
For when I love, I love freely
When I give, I give completely
He who breaks through my solemn wall
Shall have his dreams - shall have it all
Funny - how some have told me
I've loved them far too much
When they cannot possibly see
Into the recesses of my heart
Funny how those who've said those words
have always come back
When they see that all I've given them
is something they now lack
Educated myself in the ways of love
Learned the balance of love & life
Pity the man who thinks me a child
That knows not of reality
His loss is something he does not realize
And my love is something he misses, not yet
But that loss will become painfully apparent
When the dawn of his youth starts to set
I've set forth a cunning game
Ensnared a heart or two
In the end, I've always gotten what I want
And in the end, my darling, I'll have you
