I heard your voice the other night
Whispering wind to my ears
Worm as the breath of fire
Enlightening my heart
With happy sadness.
You brought back hope
The chills, the thrills, the tremor and the shakes
The earthquakes, the sunrises and the storms
You brought the moonlight at my window.
Sweet as caramel
Bitter as vermouth
Powerfully suffocating me
You came back and tried to settle in.
I tasted you so many times
I felt you deep inside my being
You conquered me over and over again
Only to leave me in despair.
Each time you’re heavier
Each time you’re stronger
Each time you win me with your beautiful lies.
You are perfection.
You are the purest.
You make us smile
You give us power and make us invincible.
I love you most and they all do.
You haunt our lives to get our best
And when you leave there’s nothing left.
We search for you in every bottle
We search for you in every soul
In the worm bodies in our beds
And in the hollows in our heads.
You give and take as you well please
You love to play and love to tease.
We love to love and we love love
Love makes us love and we make love.
I do not want you. Go away!
My heart pumps blood, not love this time
And I don’t need you to be mine.
Go win another person’s heart
I’ll keep my own for me just now
Don’t want to feel your claws again.
The scars you left are bleeding still
I know you’ll feel no rest untill
You’ll win me over
I can tell
But just for now
Love, let me be
I’m doing well.
