Masquerade

Courting danger he appears
Moving, gliding - oh so near
Whispers sweetly in my ear
Love me, hate me - hold me dear

Under, deeper I remain
Closing, cutting into pain
Silence now, nothing to say
Fading, turning into day

Twisted dagger, flesh and bone
Wanting substance without home
Intrigue enters, casts it's stone
This sin, desire would condone

Smiling, laughing he replies
Tempting gently, full of lies
Greedy culprit, once despised
Another demon is disguised

Withstanding bait, wanting still
Poisoned by my own free will
Weakened by this thirst until
Reason overcomes the thrill
