Second Chance at *us*

Step into the pools that fill my heart

But do it with trepidation

Because you’ve drowned here before

In the voids left by other men

Brought in by my siren song

But always with a rope to guide them out

 

Where is your way home, darling

Why do you return to me

With hope in your eyes

And no fear in your heart

 

I am the monster here

In my own story

Not the damsel in yours
