Like the tapping of the rain
On top of a tin roof
You fickle with my mind
Plaguing me with your sound
I try smothering you
I paint your face
A thousand shades
But your song keeps singing
Beneath the acrylic veil
Then you return
With all the melodies
Of an untouched scale
That grasp my veins
And draw me into you
I pulsate in cadence
As I fall within my being
The pattern repeats
And this time I bury you
But like the dead come to life
You crawl back into me
I deny these desires
And so I become the monarch
  The great deceiver    
          I am the criminal
          I am the victim
Will this harmony seize?
The thought it lingers
As your gaze pierces my dreams
Goodnight, I will end
Will I find you here?
