Pandoras Box

Do you always get burned When you play with fire? Must you always Extinguish your desire? Not to open Pandora’s box Yet gave the key for me unlock. You cleaver fox This box unlock. For in its contents I did find Such confusion for my mind For out come poring Contradict emotion flowing Knew you well Resist could not Not to open Pandora’s box Gave the key Now take it back This temptation I shall free Free I shall You from me For swear I do And oath forged forth This desire extinguish not ignite. With water held High in hand Pouring onto what Burns within. Burns under my skin Revealed too thin Weakness overcome Deliverance from. From this cleaver fox Custodian Pandora’s box. Held within content dreams of nights embrace Filled and emptiness Dreams of loves illusion Lost in passion confusion Dreams to reality Never to make For both to know To much at stake.
