And she danced like no other
She whirled like a dervish
Her hair bouncing on her shoulders
Like red loopy marionettes
Even her gyrating body
Yelled to me
The liquor stirs the deviant mind
Her soft whispers sends
Ecstatic shivers
Perfection was she
Away with my troubles
In perfect sync with each other
Never faltering
Now I'm left with a three-chambered heart
Ever bleeding from your
Violent antics
Egged me on you did
Ripping my soul and sense of mind
Goaded me into you web of deception
Overlooked my sensitive mind
Every biting word and evil act
Singed my face with my tears
Away with you, you siren!
Wish the same pain you bestowed onto me
Avalanches upon you as I quietly
Yearn for redemption...
