To say my heart beats faster when you come close
Would be a wild understatement
You make the foundations of my soul quake
You make tremors happen in the part of me that is immaterial
You have the power to move me
A presence that animates me
I’m both frightened of you
And drunk on you
I am utterly enchanted
Sublimely suffocated
Intrinsically intoxicated by you

Reality and fantasy intersected
Like a dream
A sweet vision of the night
When the stars rose
You were there…
I swear I could touch you
Feel your breath
Caress your face
It was just an illusion
A trick my heart played
You were never here to stay
And when I woke
You were gone

I was growing too fond of it all
The house, the car, the pictures on the wall
Sentiments are dangerous things
For they anchor you to this world, you see
I am not a fixed embellishment on this earth
It’s all passing away, even the things with great worth
This world is not my home, nor is it my prize
I look on towards heaven, that is where my treasure lies

If you claim to love me,
But that love does not inspire action,
If that love does not compel you to respond to it
With every cell in your body agreeing
And every beat of your heart
Matching the thud of your feet as you run after What it wants most
If it’s not that kind of love
Keep it

You’re a fire raging
Flames lapping in your soul
Let me dance, my love
Let me dance in the inferno

Your hands are full of violence
Your mind is filled with rage
Your glance is like a hungry lion
Pacing in its cage
