Temptation





Let me plague your thoughts

As I have wished for

In a thousand voices,

Let me be heard in your subconscious

Listen, there is sorrow amidst the shrieking laughter

And beyond the tears you'll see a trickle

Of suffering, like blood, as tangible.

Let me stalk your dreams,

Wipe them of all that is hopeful

Your past let us erase

And fill instead with haunting demons

I hear your heart's most fervent cry,

It wishes to feel it deeper

Drink this cup, it is spiked with pain,

But it burns your throat with pleasure.

Let us paint your life in darker colors,

That no one may recognize you no more.

All you'll need is me, as I infest your soul

Kiss me with desire, don't let me go.
