This ended up being about 3 million times more difficult than I ever imagined. Very fun challenge.
Breathtaking beauty, you wither me so,
Cruel intoxication, I can’t let go,
Drunken delusions your indiff'rence stirs,
Entices anguish and ignorant slurs;
Follow my passion t’wards romantic nights,
Glorious evenings of sinful delights,
Heal painful shame with three words spoken true,
Ignite our flame and say “I forgive you”;
Joyous excursions remembered well still
Kindle bright embers if only you will,
Loosen what’s harbored insisting we drown,
Mocking our marriage that’s turned upside down;
Now is the moment right here is the place,
Open your heart, dear, extinguish disgrace,
Pride knows no answers it only brings pain,
Quick now, my angel, trust pure-love again.
