The Maelstrom In My Heart

Unsure I stand, Of how to feel, Distraught within, without, Although I planned, To be as steel, I'm soft without a doubt, A 'she' has come, To bend my mind, And claim my smitten soul, Stole my freedom, And so I find, I'm robbed of self-control, O siren maid, Such strong dark spells, You have cast on my heart, A heart that has strayed, From where it dwells, Will surely fall apart, Where can I go? What can I do? When will this madness end? If I feel so, Then so must you, Or do you just pretend? You give me pain, But take my peace, A poor exchange for pleasure, I struggle in vain, To earn your kiss, A fool beguiled by treasure.
