Bitten

You climbed inside, your eyes so wise, I couldn’t rise

To kick you sideways

You were turning, needing, needing, needing

A sweet caress, a silken dress, a false duress

To keep the passion high, high, high, high, high

You are like an addict looking for a hit

And I was stupidly flattered to be it

When you’d had your fill you tossed me to the side

Discarded, longing

Bitten by your heart, bitten by your heart

Bitten by your love, bitten by your love

Bitten by your heart, bitten by your heart

Bitten by your love, bitten by your love

In the ashes of this once alive, hidden crime

I step outside

A stranger in my own life

Now everything you have touched is tainted by a beloved lie

A distant sigh

A person I believed was real

But you knew exactly what to say to get me to open up, to be your love

And now I just can’t be touched, I’m

Bitten by your heart, bitten by your heart

Bitten by your love, bitten by your love

Bitten by your heart, bitten by your heart

Bitten by your love, bitten by your love

Bitten by your heart, bitten by your heart

Bitten by your love, bitten by your love

Bitten by your heart, bitten by your heart

Bitten by your love, bitten by your love
