Mistress of temptation

Cloaked in your pure ways

Empress of denial, taught

To bow your head and pray

Although

You fear me

Want me

Love me

Aching beauty swathed behind

Elegant gray and taupe

Sunshine locks and amber eyes

Hold me tighter than rope

And yet

I need you

Want you

Love you

Our very blood runs in your veins

To make you who you are

Because you fight your heart and mine

Your kin has left its scar

But still

You fear me

Want me

Love me
