In a wisp of a moment
I saw it
In the split of a second I grabbed it
And when the moment to cherish surrendered
I found it was no more so splendid
So now in my darkness I shudder
I wonder what madness can save me
From a death so sweet as it courts me
Like a knight to his temptress forbidden
If somehow my heart does surrender
To a love so dense that it poisons
Then maybe this all will be over
Like the flutter of wings on a fly
As it struggles relentless yet futile
To escape the embrace of it’s fate, too late
No time for tender good-byes now
The day has grown short
The dark is so near
A whimsical song in the background
Sends a chill through my veins as I listen
For a beat that will nurture my sanity
As I climb through this fog that clings
Like the tentacles of those who would eat me
And you insist I believe this was meant to be
But who invented this destiny
That captures by force
And has no remorse
For dreams and desires and passions to be more
Although my rambles may leave you uncertain
Please know that indeed I do love you
And if you look closely
One day, maybe, you’ll see me
