Lovely

Oh her perfume

Dances across the room.

A dress painted with the night

Gave me a sight

As well as the face

No woman can ever replace.

I've commited a sin

But God, who could win

Over eyes of stardust

Which strengthen my lust.

Red seeps from her hair

As she tries to bare

The pain seething within

A body so gentle and thin.

I tried to soothe her

But she wouldn't remember

The love notes written

Because a girl so smitten

Wouldn't come with a man

Whom she requested a ban

For me to never come near

Because I am the meaning of fear.

Oh but that couldn't be true

Because she loves me, too.

She loves our game

Whereas I whisper her name

In the middle of the night

Where I'm not in sight.

Now she sits with pains

On the chair, locked with chains

Because she couldn't see

That we are meant to be.

When she opens her eyes

We'll say our goodbyes

And she'll breathe her last breath

Before we become one

And forever with death.
