You crept into my soul
And wrapped your claws around my heart;
I can feel you inside me,
And it's tearing me apart.

I ache for all those things I never wanted;
I burn for things I've never known.
And, as your presence engulfs me,
I truly know what it feels like to be alone.

I sit and think of all the tragedies I've suffered,
And none of them compare to this.
I've been knocked down before,
But never by a kiss.

You hold a power over me
That no one has before.
I wonder how can I ever escape you
When all the pain you've caused makes me want you even more?

My body is on fire whenever you're near,
And the agony grows worse when you're away;
It seems you've got me, body and soul, my dear . . .
I don't know what else to say.
