Disclaimer: No, I do not own any of the characters from Hannibal/Silence of the Lambs. I am only borrowing them.
Your crimes were twisted,
They made me ill.
Why did you do them?
Why did you kill?
Your genius is certain,
It can't be denied.
But why do you walk,
In madness' stride?
I try to bury,
The feelings inside,
That burn with passion,
And constantly collide.
It's a love I know,
Can never be.
A love that must,
Be spoken silently.
The agent,
The criminal,
Can't be combined.
Like the shepherd's cull.
A life unrefined.
They said to kill you,
But I knew I could not.
You silenced the lambs,
Such freedom you brought.
I try to bury,
The feelings inside,
That burn with passion,
And constantly collide.
It's a love I know,
Can never be.
A love that must,
Be spoken silently.
You stare at me,
With those crimson eyes,
Searching my soul,
Seeing beyond my disguise.
I feel so defenseless,
And so exposed,
When in your presence,
Like I'm a concerto,
That you composed.
I try to bury,
The feelings inside,
That burn with passion,
And constantly collide.
It's a love I know,
Can never be.
A love that must,
Be spoken silently.
You touch my skin,
With those icy hands,
Binding me to,
Your every command.
I sense the shivers,
Sliding down my spine,
As my body quivers,
From frisson divine.
I try to bury,
The feelings inside,
That burn with passion,
And constantly collide.
It's a love I know,
Can never be.
A love that must,
Be spoken silently.
You speak to me,
In that metallic tone,
That pierces my flesh,
And shatters my bones.
Every word you speak,
Is carefully chosen,
With cautious critique,
That leaves me frozen.
I try to bury,
The feelings inside,
That burn with passion,
And constantly collide.
It's a love I know,
Can never be.
A love that must,
Be spoken silently.
I need your sight,
To help me see,
Beyond the surface,
And through the debris.
Your eyes behold,
The unseen strife.
You can unfold,
The labyrinth of life.
I try to bury,
The feelings inside,
That burn with passion,
And constantly collide.
It's a love I know.
Can never be.
A love that must,
Be spoken silently.
You walk in the dark,
Alone with no fear,
As I stumble in the light,
Shedding countless tears.
I need your touch,
To help me through,
Like a cripple's crutch.
Something to cling to.
I try to bury,
The feelings inside,
That burn with passion,
And constantly collide.
It's a love I know,
Can never be.
A love that must,
Be spoken silently.
I've seen so much death,
I've heard too many cries.
I need your breath,
To begin my demise.
But can a black swan,
Swim with a white?
Can you leave darkness,
And come into the light?
I try to bury,
The feelings inside,
That burn with passion,
And constantly collide.
It's a love I know,
Can never be.
A love that must,
Be spoken silently.
