Tainted Love


I love you because I love you,
Because it would be impossible
For me not to love you.
I love you without question,
Without calculation,
Without reason  good or bad,
Faithfully with all my
Heart and soul, and every faculty.
Believe it, for it is true.
If you cannot believe it,
I am at your side,
I will make a drastic effort
To force you to do so.

I am interested in you. 
All of you. Your sad eyes, 
Your soft smiles, your tears, 
Your courage, and your worries. 
I am at your side now, 
And I will be at your side 
Until you tell me to leave. 
I do not need anyone to 
Tell me who is the mate for me. 
You are mine and I will take 
Every moment with you as a gift.
My heart is for you and you alone.
And you accept it or not 
This is how it will work for me. 

You teach me now how cruel 
You've been? cruel and false. 
Why did you despise me? 
Why did you betray your own heart?
I have not one word of comfort. 
You deserve this. You have killed yourself. 
Yes, you may kiss me, and cry; 
And wring out my kisses and tears: 
They'll rot you, they'll damn you. 
You loved me.
What right had you to leave me? 
What right? answer me? 
For the sake of money and comfort?
Because misery, degradation, and death, 
And nothing that God or Satan 
Could inflict would have parted us, 
You, of your own will, did it. 
I have not broken your heart
You have broken it; and in breaking it, 
You have broken mine. 
So much worse for me that I am strong. 
Do I want to live? 
What kind of living will it be 
Without you? Oh, God! 
Would you like to lie with 
Your soul in the grave?

You are an obsession, I cannot sleep.
I am your possession unopened at your feet.
There's no balance, no equality
Be still, I will not accept defeat.
I will have you. Yes, I will have you.
I will find a way and I will have you.
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you.
You are an obsession.
You're my obsession.
Who do you want me to be,
To make you fall for me?
I feed you, I drink you
My day and my night.
I need you, I need you
By sun or candlelight.
You protest you want to leave, Stay.
Oh, there's no alternative.
Your face appears again
I see the beauty there.
But I see danger, stranger beware.
A circumstance in your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems.
My fantasy has turned to madness.
And all my goodness
Has turned to badness.
My need to possess you
Has consumed my soul.
My life is trembling
I have no control.
I will have you. Yes, I will have you.
I will find a way and I will have you.
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you.

Unattainable Love

It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us,
There is something between us.
I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life

I will peel back your defenses
Leaving you vulnerable and exposed.
I will claim the deepest parts of your soul,
The hidden areas you did not know existed.
I will take you places so dark that
You'll need me to pull you back out.
I accept nothing less than everything,
This is my passion.

You are the love that 
Came without warning.
You had my heart
Before I could say no.

Denying the connection is harder
To do with each passing day.
The telepathy you share
Cannot be ignored.
Full conversations are beginning to
Take place shifting your thoughts.
Memories of the past
Replay in your head.
Her words are slowly leaving
Imprints upon your heart.
Although you attempt to resist
The fate of your destiny,
It's becoming more apparent that
Standing along her side
Is the main reason for you
In this lifetime.

I earn desperately
To lock you in my arms
To savor this heavenly pleasure
Upon your enticing lips
Let this insatiable hunger
Consume us throughoutly
While listening to our hearts
Controlled by the raging desire
Dancing with sin breathlessly
In the sensual rhythm of love
Do you have any idea
How badly I ache for you?

She leaned into him when she
Felt him standing behind her.
He gently put his hands on her arm
And shoulder and kissed her neck.
"You said it took you most of
Your adult life to find the meaning 
Of life. Why?" she asked him.
He answered: "Because it took
Me that time to find you."

I think there's always tomorrow
I miss your touch on nights
When I'm hollow
I know you crossed a bridge
That I can't follow
Since the love that you left 
Is all that I get
I want you to know that
If I can't be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life
And if you can't be next to me
Your memory is ecstasy
I miss you more than life
I need more time but 
Time can't be borrowed
I'd leave it all behind
If I could follow
Since the love that you left
Is all that I get.
