I swear to endeavour,
As I swear for your kiss,
The one midnight raven,
Keeping me in bliss,
I shall carry on a fool
To make his eyes fall in love,
Combat with the goddess,
A diamond in the rough,
But what strength can sway
Your fair hand to my arms?
Little I am sure
But a verity is in balms,
The locks you possess
Keep my heart sure enchanted,
Your eyes are the remedy,
Taken for granted,
That lotus bud blooms
A deep rose gold,
Your placement is tender,
Your story stays untold,
It is impossible to keep you,
A birds wings chained,
Try as I might to test you
I am the one who remains tamed,
As your father was no surgeon
Perplexed I sigh,
For how did he take cinnabar and
Place it in your eyes,
Toxic yet a beauty,
Take my hand and cry,
Say you're nothing special
But those cheeks blush with pride,
A fallen angel indeed,
Scared for my own life
Your hands as smooth as gin
Your tongue as soft as a knife,
Kept away from humanity
As if a psychopaths answer,
Truth is you're a remedy,
who died a vengeful martyr,
I'm aware you'll drift away,
Back into the moons shine,
Up above those clouds
You are too precious to be mine,
So as I count down the days,
Until I lose that lavender gaze,
My mind becomes a blur,
An incomprehensible haze,
I've accepted that you've gone,
But you say I can join too,
So I've built the tallest building
And I'll try fly just for you,
An ancient, forbidden love
