A Beautiful Nightmare

I screamed your name in the night Risen from my nightmare You lingered in the darkness around me Taking from me my chance for light I tried to forget you, how i tried! But you stayed with me, unwilling You haunted my days with memories So strong I died I tasted you in the air, in life I felt you on the breeze I saw you in every face And it cuts like a dull knife How I hated the very mention of you I wished for your death, for mine Any escape from this existence This pain you brought anew Your presense haunted me It haunts me still You are the beast in the shadow Thats still chasing me Your touch was my ultimate pain My one true pleasure The memory of that passion Drives me insane Your lips were liquid fire Your tongue molten lava Their memory....my revulsion And my one desire Your eyes were sapphire lakes And I was the wind on their surface The love remembered there Was too real to be fake And now here I stand, pretend bold Haunted by your love The memory of your touch And a fire that now grows cold.
