Heals
buried deep in a desire to make you mine
I
stand firm and am refined
Tongue
resisting speech
That
would pour sweet words of honey
Conspiring to
reign with fire
Baptized
in lust's holy waters
I see
everything I am
Pushed
to the limits in you
A compliment
to a king
Hot breath
giving wings to a rising serpent
Redemption
mounting my spine
Triumphant
every time
I
tell you the truth
One
more day
Keeping
the darkness at bay
I
couldn't become any stronger
Or
find joy in myself any longer
If
I had not you as a mirror
An
image of strength
Growing
clearer
It
takes everything I have
To
subdue this temptation to seduce
To
make you "fall" in love with me
Unsure
that I can give it in return
My
soul must not break
My
will to good cannot fall
To
the enticement to manipulate
Sacrificing
freedom
To
an admirer of lies
The spirit
of truth must have free reign
In
my domain of dichotomy subdued
Beautiful
and strong I need you
To
show me my own reflection
Weaknesses consumed in
ashes of glory
I
cling to the lover that lives inside
One
that must not hide, or be tamed
A
mare who when running wild
Finds
unsurpassed joy
A
release not brought by the hand of man
Yet
still I risk the ride.
