Madness in me
You incite madness in me,
A curse you cannot fix,
A spell that can't be broken
That my silence contradicts
Your words that once would tease
Have now begun to bruise
The kiss that would come with ease
Is the last thing I could lose.
You're a god in your own right,
An Adonis or Achilles
You could have any woman you want
But she wouldn't bring you to your knees.
You are an amphibious Narcissus
Who won't drown in your own image,
But you lure so many sprites
To watery death in your false visage.
You incite madness in me
And you won't let go because you're never through
Your abuse of power is disconcerting
Because you know not what you do,
But then a girl like me confesses her infatuation,
And you milk it for all its worth
With no intention of ceasing her inebriation.
Do you know I love you?
Do you know you're everything I've ever wanted.
I'd like to think you're unaware
Of all the poor wretched souls you've haunted.
Is it your being wilful or is it just your power
That never wanes, but increases by the hour?
Whatever happened to the stars in the sky,
Have they been scorched by your rays on high?
Do you not realize that the reason they're all gone
Could be because of your proud fire so strong?
I don't know if I deserve you,
You're so bad you're too good.
I don't know if we're equals in sin,
But if anyone could outdo you, I could, and I'd win.
Your icy gaze sets me on fire,
If I'm fire, you're ice,
If you're ice then I'm fire
My flame makes you ever colder,
We both know it feels nice.
Whoever said you fight fire with fire
Has no comprehension of the burning freeze of my desire.
We'll play amid the sun and moon and stars
Until heaven sends us in exile
And then down to the depths of fire and ice we will go
Where we'll stay for a little while.
