You whose amber eyes are the curse of all loneliness Who greets life with a kiss of indifference You whose vanity must guide the garden path and surely surpass your suffocating pride Consummate in selfish ways, have I lost my will? Lost sense of self, it is done. I know I must be.. falling forever when bonds start to sever I know I'll hope and pray you've had your fill The promise of never was my oath forever I know I hope and pray you've had your fill of lust before the maggots conquest Your mark about my neck A keepsake of your vanity and when swollen fears are forever mine this is true, I know I must be... Forever touched by the fire, was it your innocence that kept me at bay? Time was not mine, I was forever The wolf at the door shrouded with greed.
