A Modern Tragedy
October 23, 2008
It’s an obsession I crave,
And a secret I keep.
Locked up inside,
Only one holds the key.
It’s a burning passion,
Running through my skin.
Runs so deep,
I’m running so thin.
It’s tortured desires,
Desires we have to hide.
We’re a modern Shakespeare’s tragedy,
A secret we confide.
It’s a shame,
What we go through.
You can’t have me,
I can’t have you.
It’s hard to resist,
But easy to give in.
When you are all I crave,
What a delightful sin?
