Stricken, overcome,
I lay myself down like a lamb
On your skin of igneous rock

Unsated, inflamed,
I dispense poignant promises,
Shifting like a Kaleidoscope,

Obsessed, demonized,
I embrace my unredeeming fate
Clinging to what I cannot have

Enraptured, mesmerized,
I skewer myself on your heart,
Such a lovely, painful thorn,
Intoxicated, possessed,
I insist on losing even more,
Though nothing real of me is left,

Desperate, maddened,
I covet the kiss of your healing blade,
I sacrifice myself like a dog.
