Ballads of Beauty. 5. "Somebody as mad as me".

What would you do with somebody as mad as me?

You swept me away with a glance and devilish glee

You’re teasing me

You’re pleasing me

You are the best player

I’m even better at play

You are a heart-slayer

I’ve got nothing left to slay

A natural winner, I’m taking you over, so what?

In this battle we’ll both lose more than just blood

You’re taunting me

You’re haunting me

Smart and relentless

Sharp like a poisoned lance

Pleasure is endless

A carnal and deathly dance

I’d like to break free, but freedom is loveless and void

And you’re not someone whose desire I’d want to avoid

You’re tearing me

You’re wearing me

Bold and destructive

Dark blessing bestowed upon me

And I am your captive

You love me. Where else could I be?
