Desire is an ******;
she is addicted,
as is he to her.
She is his ******,
she needs only how he loves her.

He needs the entirety of her,
he will never have it,
she will evade him forever.
He is only her satisfaction,
and she is his love.

Doomed to dance with him,
and without him,
a truly Shakespearean heartache.
The deadliest poison yet sweetest nectar,
he will ever know.

I have felt its deadly kiss,
its grip seductive on my throat
Heat rising in my blood.

Danger creeping up my form,
no warning, never able
His attack is far too soon.

Fire and ferocious, he grows,
roars and snarls, demands to be heard
All thoughts of reason stolen.

Parting ways with all calm,
he chooses the violence of hate
Opens the doors to his demons,
and sends you to Lucifer's Gate.

Find me, chase me, pin me to the ground
I am yours, fierce lioness
Yours to hunt and hound
Hurt me, hit me, throw me to the wind
I am yours, fierce lioness
Yours to scar and skin
Toy with me, free me, let me run away
I am yours, fierce lioness
Yours to mark as prey
Watch me, stalk me, make me ******* fear
I am yours, fierce lioness
Yours to catch like deer
Wound me, eat me, use me for your game
I am yours, fierce lioness
Yours to **** and maim.

The mirror wavers,
I see a blurry image
I want to touch her,
to change her
A tear runs down her face,
as she returns to my mind, her place.

I look down, ashamed,
ashamed of my own flesh
Disgusted at myself,
hating my body's existence
Perfection is my aim,
the product of my shame.

When will I become what I want,
what they want, what they must have
Will I become noticed? Loved?
Will they see me as my dream?
I cry when I ask why,
why must my spirit die?

I try to reach her,
try to save her
But she won't hear a word,
and I lose hope as she slips away
When the strips run crimson on her wrist,
I'll know it was I do did assist.

When I look for her, she is gone,
but when I don't, she's there
Saying things to my mind,
Things I don't want to hear.

Because if she only loved herself,
if I loved me for me
That small, sad girl inside my head,
would gently cease to be.

Gentle, gentle, she sets the snare,
gentle, my love, soft strokes in my hair
Careful, careful, her kiss ghosts across mine,
careful, my darling, tongue dripping with wine.

Caress me, gentle now, don't be afraid,
show me your sweetness, show me you're brave
Kiss me, careful, give me your touch,
show me how you love me ever so much.

Soft, gentle little thing, expose yourself to me,
I can show you what it truly means to be free
Play with me, dance for me again and again,
dance with me, my darling, in the cold, dark rain.

Our paths crossed often, enchanted friends we became
Unknowing that Fate had entwined our two names
The days became weeks and the weeks passed too
Time stood still as I fell in love with you.

I couldn't resist you, the longing I felt
Unbearable pain I seemed to by Fate have been dealt
You were the reason I wanted to stay
To hear your voice and see you in the light of each day.

Our first kiss was a gentle desire for more
We both felt the spark and we both knew the score
It was better to wait, to be ready to thrive
We needed each other so we could survive.

Our second kiss was pure yet white-hot passion
It seemed our love was wearing new fashion
Each touch left me burning, each bite left a mark
As we fervently declared our love in the dark.

But Fate can be cruel and Fate will commit crime
Who could've known we had such little time?
Dreams can be shattered and hearts can be broken
In our final moments, the sweet words were spoken.

The last kiss was a bittersweet farewell
Full of lost hope and promise on forever I'll dwell
Your eyes filled with tears as you said your goodbye,
and I lost you to become a star in my sky.

Your blood on my lips was a deathly memoir
Of the love that we shared and the everlasting scar
Now bore by my heart as I walk this lone mile
Pining for your laughter, the shine of your smile.

Your strength saved me from being ruthless and weak,
showing me beauty in a world I thought bleak
I have known happiness and wonder and love,
and know that I'll join you in the clouds above.

They look at you like you're the moon,
shadows, secrets and brooding
You try to bring light to their darkness,
but they fear the unknown and,
in fearing the unknown they fear you
The moon is a mystery even to herself
Don't you know they need warmth as well as light?
Don't you know you soothe them after the Sun's blinding rays?
Well, perhaps you never asked to be the moon,
but it was always your destiny.
Just as it is the moon's destiny to fall for the Sun,
even die for her.
