Virgin

Sweet virgin, with the tenderest eyes, We will burn together at the stake. For all the dreams we tried to douse, That have kept us both awake. For I fell into your temptress arms, Like a child falls into a well. Like angels fall from the sky, Like the innocent fall into hell. Sweet virgin, with the tenderest lips, And a smile that careens my soul. We stand together before the crowd, In a flame that swallows us whole.
