You stroke her face,
You touch her hair
How is she supposed to know you’re there?
Before she wakes,
You’re long gone
Back to the façade
That you put on
You’re not a cruel man,
Though you try
Handsome oh yes,
Surprising you haven’t caught her eye
You hate your brother,
Wish him for dead?
But you love his girlfriend instead
Katherine ripped you through and through
Now your heart’s as black as coal
Or is it? Come her sweet words.
She tries to see beyond your mask
Elena.
That wheat blond hair,
Those deep blue eyes
She’s enchanted you to your core
She can find your humanity
Violent and blood-soaked is your past
Does that matter now?
She’s here
You’re the rule breaker
She’s no risk taker
You’re the poison;
She; the antidote
Clad in sin itself
Shadows trail behind you
Darkness writhes within
It’s not important
She says
As she reaches up to touch your face
And for a moment all is loveliness
But then Stefan appears
And you disappear
Back....into the world of night
