Siren's Song

My seductress, my siren

Sings her song tonight

Its sweet and sharp melody

Beckons me

I resist her call

Tying myself to the mast

Not to be released

Regardless of my cries

 

Tonight, the knots are not tight

Her cold notes whisper in my ear

All logic fails, intoxicated by her call

I know my fate, but every muscle

Strains against the rope

Heart pounding with the need

To join her in the deadly water

Crying out in agony

The knot slips

The rope fails

 

Tumbling toward the edge

Looking in to the steel water

Her song cuts deeper and deeper

Washing away all reason

 

I lean closer

Seduced by her call

A cold temptation seeping

Toward the heart

I lean closer

Come to me

There is no turning back

Closer

Her words an icy breath

Come to me

Her hands reach

Closer

Her touch sharp against my skin

Come to me

She presses deeper

Closer

 

I break

 

Unable to resist

I break

Throwing myself overboard

Her cold existence

Mixing with my warm blood

 

Deep red life escapes

Sweet relief

Her edge presses onward

I let myself go

Taken over by her song

 

The world disappears

Lost in her touch

Cold and sharp against my pale skin

Time halts

Minutes are years

Lost in her touch

 

She releases her grasp

I awake from my stupor

But it is too late

I have gone too far this time

She brought me to the darkness

Beneath the powerful sea

I cannot go back

I have gone too far this time

 

Tonight, the knots slipped

Tonight, the blade won
