Darling, darling

My ever illusive mistress!

Why so fickle, why so cruel?

For you turn away from me,

The moment I let go of

Your ever controlling hold

You’ve made sleep a currency

I must pay in gold 

Or be made rotten

Or be made mold

Do I dare admit

I grow weary, I ever ache

To howl like an animal

To live in the mystery and fantasy

Of the glowing, siren

she calls herself the moon

Or to run a day on no clock

To be a bird and join a flock

To dance in the colors of war

To be myself, to soar

Yet the price of chaos

Is not worth your loss

So I kiss your feet

So I worship your altar

I am a taken woman

I wear your leather

I wear your halter

Little know, few understand

How I must fear and fight

To be gifted your hand

And wedded we are

Until I stumble

Until I fail

Forgive my mind,

For it is frail

Darling, darling

My ever-illusive mistress!

Why so fickle, why so cruel?

Where is my freedom?

For you I become Edom

Without my birthright,

Bathed in red

I live as something dead

Then beg you, then plead

To have your need

And drink my

Broken greed
