Love Potion #6

So many faces
In dark & dreary places
Haunting voices 
Echoing through a hollow room
Searching for a crucifix
To transfix the hypnotist
Wanting to disappear
Only to reappear 
In the company of the dead
The books I've read 
Never prepared me for love
I feel so strange
With thoughts so muddied
My heart's throbbing in my throat
I feel like a love struck fool
I will break myself away
I have no time for this
These feelings of love are dangerous
Potent to the soul.
