Black Magic

What did I do to deserve this

What kind of torture have I been put through

Am I going to spend my summer wondering

What could have been, what might have been

What seems to be

Your face…all in my head…haunting me closely

What’s happening to me

What have you done to me

What HAVE you turned me into

How can I SURVIVE

WHY SHOULD I SURVIVE

Why are you here…in my head

LEAVE

Black shades in my brain to hide your face

ERASE your face and that witch you love

BIND your soul till black clouds of dust

FILL THE AIR

Why can’t I forget you

Why can’t I cease to remember your name

The soft sound  of your voice

Those eyes that sparkle in the moonlight

What have I done to you

To make you do this to me

To make me feel so incomplete

Feel so lost…to lose desire

To never love because you’re always there

Who am I to you? Nothing

What do I mean to you? Nothing

What could I be to you? Something

You can set my body free

You can heal the pain

And put out the fire that BURNS

Just leave me, but leave my soul to stay
