Unhealthy Fantasies

He will not love
He will not honor her
He will not yield to her needs
He will not give her what she wants
So she thinks of someone who can

She will not submit
She will not bow to him
She will not yield to his needs
She will not give him what he wants
So he thinks of someone who can

Further and further they drift apart
With craving souls and burning lusts
Temptations mounting everywhere
And they succumb to the ones in mind

In darkened rooms raging passions
Take hold of their private places
Til ideal faces and ideal bodies
Release the tension temporarily

She's taken to worlds
She flies in the heavens
She's the moon that bursts into stars
She comes down but sees her winding sheets
And that she has crashed there all alone

He's riding the waves
He's walking on the waters
He's Poseidon on seas with mermaids
Then letting go, falling back to depths below
He still burns alone for satisfaction

Because though they can think of someone who can
They can't... fulfill needs and desires with just sex 

They need and want each other's appeal
They need to love and submit 
They need to honor and bow 
They need to yield...
Til their wishes become reality
