    ---[patron]
    And suddenly her arms were there
    Wrap't 'round me once more;
    for such a time there were none,
    but now I am safe, with her once more.
    ---[departure]
    Timid as those green eyes darting--
    A soft hand caressing me.
    Touching where hot aches lay
    giving what only she could,
    then retreating once again, away
    ---[orchestral]
    Hot tongues of ice whipping at my feet.
    That chaotic orchestra playing our theme,
    madness within chaos;
    ever louder until it breaks
    ---[touch]
    Yet he could love her
    and be whole within her
    warmth and caress.
    ---[breakable]
    So precious beneath me.
    A fragile monster of broken beauty.
    My porcelain ballerina smeared with scarlet.
    ---[disloyal]
    Lovely her skin against
    the palm of my hand.
    Gypsy of my dream and
    married to him.
    ---[orientation]
    His arms feel so foreign
    And his dominance makes me burn
    So different from a woman
    But yet I never yearn
    ---[missing]
    Storming sea breeze eyes
    A buzz cut and no clue
    His bullets tell no lies
    Crashed in the fighter jet he flew
    ---[halves]
    Calloused, lean, a fighter
    He is my man
    Soft, delicate, a butterfly
    She is my other half
    ---[wrong]
    A hasty retreat to her bed
    Father, an intruder to our happiness, walks past
    She back to me, no words said
    We kiss and cuddle and hope this lasts
    ---[distorted]
    She is a fallen woman, one who is the night
    But I find myself entranced by her sickly sight
    This story of a lady humbled to the earth
    Urges me to build her self worth
    And so, the decision made, I open my door
    To this beautiful one time gutter whore
    ---[violate]
    Warm lips on my neck
    Heavy breathing from my mouth
    A gloved hand roaming
    A revolver somewhere else
    ---[regret]
    That stinging pain she loves
    My sweet scent confusing her
    I want gentle hands, soft eyes
    She wants the whip again
    …Flowers and masochism
    ---[over]
    Gazing back into the time before
    When his hands weren't scarlet
    And his eyes weren't cold
    When he would love me
    Before this angry war
    ---[growth]
    Love is the subtle cherry scent
    Coming from her neck
    Love is the rocking bed
    Making sleepless sounds
    Love is this being in my hands
    Waiting to call me daddy
    ---[slave]
    Another washed out day of nothing
    And a night of I can't sleep
    My pimp says hit the corner
    One more wasted day
    ---[junkie]
    Loose change dancing in her pocket
    She demeaned herself for 90 cents
    But for another rail of Coc
    She'd kill another man
    ---[infatuated]
    Blithe is the person beside me
    Unaware of my heart that burns
    Broken as it lies beneath me
    Frightened when the knife turns
    ---[fate]
    Cold and distilled autumn winds
    A nostalgic yearning in my gut
    His hand no longer over mine
    As I lock his coffin shut
    ---[censorship]
    In this world of twisted beauty
    And of falsely smiling liars
    There is no middle ground
    No downtime in a war
    And a drop of true real love
    Face it as it is
    And anchor to our cold existence
    Or be dead men for not
