Do really want to come play with me
I am a bit pathetic at times it seems
An emotional misfit of self made doom
An always dramatic poetic muse

Do you really want to swim with me
Get sick from the waves of my stormy sea
A warning I send to the heart I find true
Go away while you can before I drown you to

Love me from afar don’t get to close
I don’t want to submit you to the dismay I provoke
Kiss me in dreams where in sleep you are safe
Where you can control the path out life takes.
