Christine's Love

I love and hate him.
My heart is like an unending paradox,
Just like cold night and glorious day.
Just like him.

How easy it would be to surrender.
To go back to the world I belong.
There in his dungeon of blackness,
Ecstasy and freedom are mine.

Then reality comes back to me,
A society tells me I'm wrong.
The world cannot love a monster,
So neither can I.

I need and crave him to insanity,
But my pride is too strong
And my soul is too weak,
To defy those who see only a beast.

In my mind, the battle rages,
Between what's right and what I want.
The warring sides ravage my thoughts,
Driving me to cold dementia.

Have you ever wanted something so bad,
That your need drowns you?
The undertow pulls you down,
And you cannot breath.

I cannot breath.
