Walking at midnight in a garden of red roses
They fade into black, time is now frozen
Silver moon shines through shaded trees in my mind
Revealing dark beauty, no longer confined
Running in the wrong direction
Dreams no longer in reach
Crimson blood flows through a cut
Smeared upon flushed cheeks
Reflections are illuminated in a salty sea of untrust
The prince of shadows arrives, self control turns to dust
Many steps away in the fog, drawn in by lust
Clouds cover the moon, denial of him crushed
Innocence shrouded by a thin layer of silk
In my mind he speaks without moving his lips
A mirror forms to block and send back his spell
Hypnotized by magic, he says, "Only a kiss"
Mesmerized by his eyes, glass shatters inside
He chants in a foreign tongue, shards slowly mend
My chest rises and falls to the beat of his heart
Intoxicated by a melody I don't comprehend
