Beautiful Nightmare
Spellbound by this heartbreaking love
He is frozen under a pale moonlight
The countless nights of hell tell a tale
That burns at the core every night
And yet in the yearning there is an ecstasy
An exquisite torture of pleasure and pain
Where paradise and perdition intertwine
When his lips bleed by speaking her name
It all goes back to the first time they met
Bodies and spirits felt so damn attracted
But when she looked deep into his eyes
He felt as if his soul had been extracted
Her smiles and kisses are alive in his memory
The night air fills his head with silent dread
Her bated breath brings him to the brink of death
His heart beats slower as it’s torn to shreds
She takes his fire and shares it elsewhere
And comes back for more whenever she is cold
By morning she’s gone like a beautiful nightmare
The dream he longs to keep but hates to hold
