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!
