Why would I stay
When you led me astray?
How can I wait
And be left standing albeit?
What causes my mind
To go back and rewind?
It's the aroma of your soul
That entrances me in this magnetic pull.
There's no escape from the deep ocean
Of your eyes, I'm in a riptide of emotion.
Steadily my hopes rise with the waves
And then slowly sink down, hidden in a cave.
There's no promise of light,
But only of the cold night
Surrounding my dreams,
Where my serene sleep turns into screams,
Calling for a quiet clarity,
Seeking newfound sanity.
But all I'm left with is a memory
That will forever haunt me.
