If only I could go back in time
That moment when my heart
Beat loud like a Djembe drum
When I danced under the moon
I was a powerful wind
Going through everything I saw
I touched and changed lives
With a kiss and a gentle smile
The serpent from its burrow slithered
Into my naïve unassuming arms
Venom slowly seeping into my veins
Turning my breeze to acid rain
My freedom stolen and my touch a burn
Nowhere to turn and no way to give
I hide in the burrow with the serpent
Waiting, waiting for one of us to kill the other
