Forever Marked

Forever Marked
-----------------------

You hold my heart in your claws
You make my soul bleed with your gentle lips
You kill me with your pretty eyes...

I have loved you from the moment we met on a hot summer night
When I first laid eyes upon you in that place of noise and travel
And you captured my heart with a glance and a warm shoulder

Your soft lips can betray the determination in my soul to stand firm
Making my soul bleed with want of you alongside me
As they move like Lucifer's breath along my flesh

Your hands are both satin and steel, feather and claw
Seeming to know just how to stroke and play me
Able to so easily tear my heart asunder

Your eyes hold the secrets of my heart and soul
Striking like poisoned blades straight into my being
Knowing full well how to extort it for your purposes

Now with a whisper of hidden pain and desperate longing
I try so hard to let you go as I know you wish me to
But you have enslaved my soul within the cage that is you

Your beautiful eyes can cause such a slow death
And as my flesh aches for your warm touch
I will continue to wither away in my lonely bed

Your demon has ripped me apart upon the altar of you
Methodically poisoning my heart with your sweet venom
Knowingly forever spoiling me for all others...
