Last Breath

Fallen angel, heart of gold, 

Shhhh! Whisper -- it's our 
secret, I know. 

Drenched in midnight, 
thunderstorm smeared, 

hiding from the light of the 
stars.

Leave me breathless inside 
your kiss, 

Don' t stop -- it's not the air 
that I miss. 

Choking, begging, a demon 
dream,

You've stolen more than I have 
to give.

Bring me, hard, to my knees,

jaded goddess, desperate to 
please.

Wrapped amidst your ebon 
wings,

suffocating what's left of my 
soul.

Emerald voices, edge of the 
storm,

distant laughter, dragons cry, 
forlorn.

Break away, release me,. let 
me fall,

knowing you have all of me.
