Analysis of lusting.
the world shall never part
with the lust affairs of the heart
and rid the skies of tears
crying midnight blue spears
trails of dreamland felt like home
lead you places never thought to roam
they speak eloquently with love in their eyes
the mask is invisible to the spies
the world will never speak
only turn the other cheek
and talk with malice lips
hiding thoughts behind the hips
traces of humanoid evil are found
grasping at all the edges of ground
wake up with the melancholy mead
forgotton where they've lain their seed
lasting lust and shallow stain
peaceful nights still tasting the pain
drink deep, fear me, and close your head
sickening silence in the halfway empty bed.
