A trick mastered

And performed in front of you

A lost soul

Blinded by the false truth.


She is the soft winds

Before her hurricanes engulf you alive

Her pretty face will leave you scattered

And begging for mercy all your life.


The devils in her

Masked by wingless angels

Will have you pity her scars

And heal her wounds.


But passed on to you

Will be her bruises

And you'll find yourself

Strolling the path to doom.


How convenient it will be for your soul

To name this misery, love

To convince your holed heart that it is

You, she keeps above all.


But warned by the stars and moon

You should know she is the night

And bright is your true self

Destined to be daylight.


Lost will be one

If the other is to be found

No matter how mighty the sun is

Dusk always witnesses him drown.


So save yourself some breath

And run far, far away

For she will borrow your time and joy

And promise it back your way.


But her darkened stars will burn

All that you let her take

You'll lose your charm to a crippled conscience

And realise too late that this was a mistake.
