Gabrielle

Gabrielle...long ago I fell prey to her predatory spell
like a fallen angel in a bottomless well
twisted tale of love and truth that i've gotta tell

Gabrielle...sweet beauty transforms into a sour beast
from the top of her crown to the bottom of her feet
from the largest to the least
she leaves me weak while she's subtracting my strength
her lunacy has no length
Gabrielle...cold conquest queen

Gabrielle...turning whispers into whirlwinds and dreams into nightmares
her pretty face turns into a menacing stare
where iron eagles dare i fly away with her straight into the sun
i melt in her madness like a rabbit on the run
Gabrielle...blasting shots from her love gun

Gabrielle...running fast forward but i'm still in reverse
what i thought was a blessing was an evil erotic curse
Gabrielle drives the herse and places flowers of forever on my sinful shallow grave
Gabrielle...now eternally i'm her soul slave

Gabrielle could be the woman at the well. and you the man she never married. wonder if she's talking with Him right now? how wonderful that would be.

What a wicked wicked gal this Gabrielle. Love that name you used for her. Kind of Poe-ish! Luv, Andrea
