The Dark Side of Love

The obsession born of forbidden desire, Just as powerful as pure love, but more dangerous Than any other force on earth. Is that why you cannot keep away from me? Does the power of your desire Hold you prisoner against your own will? And how am I to respond? Should I welcome you and risk annihilation Or should I fight you? I wonder now if I even have a choice. I feel so powerless against the hunger I see in your eyes That I can do nothing but succumb to your every wish And hope against hope that you and I can be together Without seeing my own heart ripped to shreds on the floor.
