Surrender
in my dream he waits-
I feel his yearning his hunger and
I dread it yet it enthralls me
to surrender-
sensing him (in my darkened room)
confusion fear overwhelms
he is breathing
close
so near
who is there a shadow moves
whispering my name my name whispering
terrifying a voice deep baritone demanding
and cruel (and then)
I see him his fathomless dark eyes
staring down at me
I am lost yet I pull him close
he strokes my flowing hair but his eyes are cold as ice
daggers to my soul
there is love (hate) lust passion
he wants to control me
violently crushing my (ruby red) lips
obsession his lips release their tension
then his kisses are like flowers of love
(he is evil) he is love he is lust
he is cruel I murmur words of passion
oh those dark fathomless eyes
go away come back I love you
hate you
he wraps his arms around me
(gentle) and I am lost twirling and swirling
oh why does he haunt me
my dream
is fading
fading in the mist
and I am screaming for him
(don't leave me)
oh moon your light is failing
you are nothing now
and dawn breaks like a wound that bleeds
gone and I am left weeping
weeping and this dreams of a ghost
must hide away be locked away
and the wind is whistling in the weeping willows
birds are chirping and the sun is creeping
