The Purest Sin

I lay upon this bed now

Mascara stains my eyes

Seduction lies next to me

And waits for me to rise

Wine stains in the glasses

Like cuts from the night before

When my thoughts were crystal clear

And I opened every door

She turns to face me now

With that sexy black cherry grin

Eyes like emerald fires

Laced with the purist of the sins

The clouds burn a bright, bright red

But the sky burns a deeper hue

On this carnal stage

Where the performer is only you

Everything here is a misunderstanding

And compassion creates a liar

As the night draws ever closer

White lines then the fire

Her figure silhouettes before me

Smouldering in the shadows

A body serpentine on mine

While the lust within me grows

Just one fix of dark femininity

My amphetamine girl unfolds

Ingesting lines from beguiled skin

Her body ready to explode

The crescendo of this night

Envelops us as we push into one

Projecting everything we are

Until we come undone…
