She Possesses Me

She possesses me like a fire possesses the devil
She possesses me like a Harley possesses its metal
She lures me like a child is lured to candy
She lures me like Indians lured by Gandhi


I'm usually strong but with her I go weak
Under her spell my mind starts to leak
Controlled by her charms
Willingly with no qualms
I follow her like a cult obsessed freak


She possesses me like an owner possesses a dog
She possesses me like a termite possesses a log
She lures me like a moth is lured to light
She lures me like a bat is lured by night


I'm usually strong but with her I go weak
Under her spell my mind starts to leak
Controlled by her charms
Willingly with no qualms
I follow her like a cult obsessed freak
