Dark Embrace

Of sullen lust and dark embrace
The rose-petal lips and silver eyes
Inside my heart, this love I can taste
In the midst of my tears, we never said goodbye

We never said goodbye to each other I never cared at the time
But in the saddened moonlit meadow, I wish I would have now
To my despair and my disgust, why didn't I love you like I should?
Why didn't I love you like I should?

Because I never could...

Those last few faltering weeks of ours
When we began to part...
I can't remember clearly at all...what dark enigma
Caught our eyes and took you from my heart?

You are so far away from me, in another world I’d never known
I can't fall back on you anymore the sun has never shown
The silkiness of your skin on mine, ecstasy and temptation
When you parted my lips with your pink tongue, it was exotic recreation

Nevermore, o' nevermore.... I can't touch you anymore
I can't love you forevermore...I’m lying dead on this soft shore

I remember none-so vaguely, loving you at your homestead
Brushing your hair behind your ears, tickling the back of your neck
Entranced in our tangle of passion...would I? Should I? Could I? Regret...
Regret? Never... I’d rather be cold and lonely, touched by the night...chilled
by black!

Of sullen lust and dark embrace
Those rose-petal lips and silver eyes
In the midst of all my tears
We never said goodbye...

Should I search or should I stay.... Should I become one with the stars?
Should I hide or should I run...should I try to destroy the sun?
I’m falling, collapsing within' my sorrow...a black light has stricken me
With a brand new disease...I can't tell if I love you now, I just need you....
Please.

Caressed by flames of dark evolution...I lust for you, for your pollution
I am now, trapped in a cage. Crying your name...day after day
Night after night...

No!

I can't think this way.... I’ve been reborn yet not alive
I’ve been made with soft scorn and brilliant dire eyes
I walk a twisted path of hate, of chilled underbrush
And I embrace the moon.... This fossil night, so lush

I have altered my state of mind...twisted beyond recognition
Scarred and hopeless frozen thoughts... the night is so delicious
Dusk’s embraced me a thousand times over my soul is churning black
The light of the stars thrown down at me...it is dark, and I can relax

Of sullen lust and dark embrace
Those rose-petal lips and silver eyes
In the midst of all our tears
We never said goodbye...
