Obession Is Your Name

I used to be so wonderful

of golden hair and eye,

an eagle or a falcon 

was not comelier than I,

  I often flew to foreign lands

on wings of colored light,

I used to execute my plans,

and always make things right,

but now the universe has sworn

to break my heart in half,

I gave you night and early morn,

and still I hear you laugh.

what will it take to make you mine

and stop this burning pain?

I drown it all in dregs of wine,

obsession is your name!
