DREAM UNICORN

You are that which haunts me
in the day and in the night
My dreams are what you play in
Seducing me body and mind
You play your tricks,
sooth my soul
Your gentle embrace makes me calm
makes me give myself up to you
You are the dream
of sleepless nights
The dream I dread and crave
My drug, my sedative
You make me everything that I am
And yet ...
You are that which holds me back
You are my wildest fantasies,
my greatest fear
You are that which I love and hate
That which I strive for and try to escape
Forever in the shadows will you protect me
with your deadly poison
Forever will you keep me safe from harm
with your silver dagger pressed against my heart
Always will I seek you out
among the stars and in my mind
As I try to hold on to that which will be my death
That which I will cherish and worship,
That which I will loathe and cast away
until death shall take me in Her arms.
