Caught in the web of ethics
Caught in the strings of right and wrong
Caught in between betrayal and need
Till my craving gnaws at my very dreams.

A lot of things that should have happened that did not.
I thought I was strong enough
But not even my ego could tame such an emotion

Crazy in love is an understatement
Helpless in love is what begets me.
Never did I suspect it was possible to love two
Yet my heart succumbs despite my restraint.

Wild kisses that render me speechless
Homourous talk that makes me tremble
Might regret spilling such an emotion
He's got eyes here anyway.

I hate how much the worm has burrowed deep
But to pull it out, my limbs go limp
I thought this was forever gone
But I've been proven wrong

Find me a mistletoe tree so I can get this done with
Or I shall sulk till the memories turn to ashes.
Shackled my throbbing heart is but I have made up my mind never to stick my tongue in flames anymore

Hidden tears of my throbbing heart.
