Oh, Alex, darling, don't you see
Just how much you mean to me?
How I wish that you were real
So that your sweet face, I could feel

People just don't understand
How anyone can love a man
Whose heart is black as ebony
And is a fearsome enemy

But, my sweet love, they cannot see
How, in my mind, I've rescued thee
From a life of sin & iniquity
That otherwise you could never flee

I was the one who purged your soul
And the same girl who made you whole
Don't let my labor be in vain
Alex, darling, with me remain!

It pains my heart when I realize
I will never see your eyes
So startlingly deep & crystal-blue
Oh, Alex, why can't I love you?

When wondrous dreams affect my sleep
Of you making sweet love to me
I feel so calm & safe from harm
When I'm in your loving arms

And when the dreams end & I wake
Tears spring from my eyes & I start to shake
I weep & moan so miserably
Knowing you will never love me!

If only I could touch your face
And linger in your sweet embrace
Then all my pain would disappear
And I would cast away my fears

Why can't you ravish me at night
And place your hands where it feels right?
And when we're done, why can't you say
You'll be with me forever & a day?

Please, darling, don't abandon me
For without you, I'm just so empty,
Like a finished glass of milkplus!
I'm void of love, yet not of lust...

This blazing flame won't cease to be
It mercilessly burns through me
You cannot be with me, I know
And nonetheless, I want you so

If ever you will ravish me
And promise to remain with me
It will be within my dreams
And nothing more, it sadly seems

Until the bridge I hope to find
Will link your world to that of mine,
It is a shame that you're confined
To the darkness of my mind

But while you're there, I'll keep you safe
And linger in your sweet embrace!
Away from the prying eyes of the world,
I will be your darling girl

Love me now, love me ever after!
Make my lips bubble with sweet laughter
As you bless me with your touch divine
Within the darkness of my mind

No one knows that I am yours
And they will never know, for sure
Your tender love that you proudly own
Is for me, & me alone
