And.... more

there's not a single doubt
drifting through my head
you don't breathe in or out
you're not alive you're undead

no blood coursing through your veins
flesh cool to the touch
i know your face but not your name
when you're near i feel my blood rush

my heart pounding out a beat
a rhythm dancing through me
in my face i can feel the heat
true heat-- its entirety

i want you so close
yet i do not dare
because all will be lost
if into your eyes i stare

they are cool grey steel
glinting in the moonlight
their magic i can feel
i can't-- i'll lose my life

my heartbeat draws you in
the blood pounding inside
you want to pierce my skin
and i do not want to hide

i know what you want from me
though it will sting
i will give it freely
joy to me you bring

you come closer still
i feel gripping fear
the room cool emotion fills
as you come near

my fear begins to subside
i go to you
i will not hide
i will be true

the kiss is so deep and pure
off then on
how long i'm not sure
now it's gone

i'm no longer cold
an emotion i can't measure
tilt my head as i'm told
pain then the pleasure
