Black Heart
I can see from the beginning
I know before it starts
Your eyes are filled with mischief
There's a pounding in my heart
At first you seem excited
And my feelings quite agree
But then you start to pull away
You hide yourself from me
You watch the words you say aloud
And carefully guard your heart
Afraid, perhaps? I cannot tell
You keep your thoughts apart
I see you turn, black ranger
I feel your cautious stare
You're fighting with yourself, I know
You're trying not to care
But when you finally kiss me
Your hands entwined in mine
My dear black ranger
It's really you this time
Those few days are heaven
The happiest I've been
We spend our time together
You've finally let me in
But every time I look at you
I know deep in my heart
This love we share between us
Was doomed before the start
Your face grows darker every day
Your eyes grow blacker still
I see the hesitation-
You're not sure who to kill
When you finally release it
When you leave me at the gate
I cannot help but hope
You haven't left too late
I know what you are feeling
An anger you can't quell
What it is that drives you
I can see it all too well
Your heart yearns for freedom
Your spirit longs to fly
I understand, my love
You needn't tell me why
My dear black ranger
Know that I speak true
Though your hands may seek to harm me
I can't stop loving you
The day you tell me everything
The day you spill your soul
I see the pain within your eyes
A hurt as black as coal
My dear black ranger
I want you to live free
But shadows overcome you
They turn your wrath on me
The sound of weapons clashing
I'm fighting in dismay
I know one thing for certain
We both will die today
You stumble backwards, bleeding
And finally, you land
My dear black ranger
Your death is by my hand
