Enthralling
It's so enthralling to be falling again
When love is the bane of my existence it fills me with pain
Romance is the rapture of the heart
To capture all that might one day bring us apart
There are so many nuances to love
I could light this flame and look above
My soul is righteous as I stare into your eyes
No lies, no reasons why, just simple sighs
You knew my mind was a twisting travesty
Rolling out the purple carpet for your majesty
You pushed over walls, wrote it on the bathroom stalls of malls
And had the gall to ignore all the common sense calls
And every time I pushed you pulled
But perhaps it's you who has been fooled
By thinking I'm worth your time
While I whittle away my life in rhythm and rhyme
You sit there and wipe away the grime
That covers my heart like slime
And yet for all of my hate
You unlocked the door of my fate
And now it's too late
Because it's so enthralling to be falling
I just hope it doesn't send us sprawling
