Being the OTHER
You look right past
to meet her glance
I sink behind
and miss my chance

You refuse the pain
behind my eyes
You hide your heart
I tell them lies

Falling between
your stare
and the floor
Wishing I was
steady and sure
Intoxicated
by the evil
I know is wrong
Disbelieving
the wait
Will make me strong

You collect between my lips
I swallow you whole
you take tiny sips
Your strictly forbidden
but I am Eve
Craving the danger
Hidden up your sleeve

Falling between
innocence and impure
Needing a savior
wanting you more
Magnetic to injury
painful and long
Disbelieving your heart
is where it belongs

I sweep your dirt
Under the rug
dying from the strain
Even though your love
means death
I'd do it all again
