Unrequited

Can't imagine you'd deny me
Can't let myself fall to despair
I believe in happy endings
Just want the start to find you care

Enable me to come closer
Hypnotic, you're drug in my veins
And no, there can't be another
Or nothing left of me remains

Unrequited, unrequited (love)
So excited for the chance
You'll put me above (the rest)
Unrequited, unrequited (love)
Darling, ignited in trance
You're all I think of (my quest)

You're an angel, I'm your devil
Thinking of you explicitly
Touch, feeling your breath on my neck
Holding you, tasting, heavenly

Your name is honey on my tongue
An indulgence and I repeat
Within my slow dreams and soft moans
A fever,... salt, sweat, dripping sweet

Unrequited, unrequited (love)
So excited for the chance
You'll put me above (the rest)
Unrequited, unrequited (love)
Darling, ignited in trance
You're all I think of (my quest)

Black Butterflies

The broken ... bleed for a soulship, by the by 
Hard to admit but this tumbling doesn't lie
Jagged, heart pieces dash like black butterflies
(Fluttering)
Black butterflies
Black butterflies

I take one step forward only to slip back
Leave the shadows, you're near, flitting wings of black
Black butterflies
Black butterflies

Sometimes I feel you watching me, Am I right?
Prowling affinity, every day and night
Capturing but is it imaginary?
Thoughts swirl, such a confusing menagerie

And I keep asking myself, 'What do I do?"
Need to think, match place in me that's like you - with ...
Black butterflies
Black butterflies

Pit of the stomach and from the gut, tickling
Emotional intuition, shards bursting
Black butterflies

Sometimes I feel you watching me, Am I right?
Prowling affinity, every day and night
Capturing but is it imaginary?
Thoughts swirl, such a confusing menagerie

Pit of the stomach and from the gut, tickling
Emotional intuition, shards bursting
