he was her air
giving her a beautiful life
a life suited for a queen
but suffocating
her on certain days - shutting the palace doors
making her see an explosion of colour
but immersing her into a dark dungeon
her mind became a spiders web
trapping her most intense feelings
allowing her to maintain her golden smile
while making sense of her devastation within
this war is hers to fight for she refuses to give up
she still sees the beautiful life and opened palace doors

she was a paradox of emotions
he was the only one who
could handle her madness
and together they danced
like wildfire being encouraged by wind

she lay her head upon his chest
his heartbeat - rhythmic poetry
put her demons to rest
messianic beats understood by her soul
his gentle touch stroking her hair
assuring her he will always be there
embraced in each others arms
cacooned away from any harm
tempestuous emotions at a rising alarm
the only time there's a storm before the calm

I shall open the door
for you to see
it's always gonna be
you and me
going on our lifes trip
holding each other so we don't slip
my heart freely given to you
in a glass case
putting my life in your hands
i'd never forget your face
you are what my most intimate dreams
are about
it's just you always you
i'd never want out

Believe in better - that's what she said
to the voices that quarrelled in her head
though she knew things may never change
she refused to let go - feeling deranged
pain began to feel like pleasure
a sense of eroticism - newfound treasure
a feeling bound just to her
with silver handcuffs covered in fur
masked with a golden eye patch
a body with stories in every scratch
fevered madness loomed over
she could never get enough of her lover

Close your eyes
you will see
all that cannot be seen
opened eyed
as once your eyes are shut
you see from within your soul
clearer messages relayed
true meanings unfold

there she stood mirrored in her reflection
a flame dancing on water
