Your Tantalizing Trickery
#VocalNPM
If I turned to you now
From my pit of despair,
Would you try to comfort me?
Would you even really care?
It isn't that plain to see,
By the light of our history.
If I told you my deepest secrets
Would you let me in - or be my end?
Under the cover of tragedy
Would you say that I have sinned?
To feel my heart bleed, casually?
Distorting the memory?
What is this that's killing me?
Was that your presence here?
Did it linger incessantly?
Followed by the void and the fear
Of what I know could never be,
Leaving me in misery...
Why did you speak those words?
That keep me holding on...
Such tantalizing trickery;
My prison is your passion,
My dreams, your mystery...
My life, your accessory.
