Paint a pretty painting all in red
Surrender
Dream a little dream until you're dead


And yet again I find as all resolve unwinds
To leave me cast away from grace

I'm left to face the truth with all my thoughts reduced
To broken vows and wrinkled lace
I've grown to hate your smile

So pure and infantile, incomprehensibly naive
But to resist
It is a lesson in futility


Once more the want of you
Only you

Consume(s) my fantasies through the night
So I cry
Out your name

And I sigh
Out in vain
Another poem to losing my mind


Paint a pretty painting all in red
Surrender

Dream a little dream until you're dead
Your tender lips are all I see
A crimson vision cursing my destiny

Never ask a question never tell
No yearning
Fall in love and you fall into hell

Is there no turning back
For no one knows but God above
My love
