His arms envelop tightly round,

So tight my breathing's troubles compound.

I question if this union I've found,

Or just more of the same, familiar ground.

His sky-blue eyes, celestial gaze,

Both raise me up and bring cruel raze.

Before their power, my strength merely frays,

My walls come crumbling, defenses raise.

The cherished barriers I had built to guard,

Now shatter to pieces, hit the earth's yard.

Again and again, I query how hard -

Is this truly destiny's marked card?

But it happens, my ivory walls can't shield

From the titanic force, the impact wield

Of his brutal candor, nowhere to conceal,

A mirror by my worst enemy revealed.

Yet it is not so, all I loathe and fear,

That makes me fragile, you render so clear,

Again and again, with vision sincere,

Sinless and guiltless, you judge and peer.

Could you truly see through this veil?

Am I so easy for you to unveil?

Your lust for flesh makes my form seem pale,

You use and disrobe each last female.

Are my coffee eyes not enough to entice?

The sweetness of caresses, that soft paradise?

The taste of lies, however rumor-rife?

These soft mountains, you can't erase from life?

I wish to ignore the demons you keep,

Pretend they don't lurk beneath bed's sleep,

Whispering in your ear while I weep,

Saying "You're the only one" as the night grows deep.

Sorry, my darling, I can't ignore

The demons whispering through this door,

"He lies", they echo, "Believe no more,

Don't heed his words, he'll just make you sore."
