Desire
My mind becomes her
My heart is bricked up by plague
My eyes return there
The things I saw are far too vague
My lies will bring her
My lust will burn the pain
My eyes will still stare
The things I need must carry rain
My soul becomes her
My dreams will call her name
My fear will not care
Once I can admit fate is to blame
I dance in starlight
The fire around me turns the page
I breathe for death’s night
My desires are free from their cage
