Darling your eyes are a chocolate sea,

And though I can swim, they are ever drowning me.

Your smile is the sun, so perfect and bright,

And oh so cold is the oncoming night.


Darling your words are a siren's song,

Beautiful tones will have me dead before long.

Your hair is a fire, it burns down your back,

The smoke swirls forth and it dyes my lungs black.


Darling your name is a tritone chord,

It sounds so good but it leaves my ears sore.

Your touch is a cloud in the middle of the day,

Delicate soft, and yet so far away.


Darling your heart is a priceless masterpiece,

Colorful and pure, but so very out of reach.

My heart is porcelain, so easy to break,

But when I tape the shards together it's quite easy to fake.
