I saw you and my heart’s anchor lost its line
I yearned to hold you close,
To feel your heart’s warm fire.
To taste your lips,
To breathe your scent,
Was my heart’s full desire.
In your eyes which shone with a gentle light
Your hair flowed like the ocean’s waves
And skin that glowed in the moon’s pale rays.
You heard my voice, a melody that beckoned
And following my siren’s call, you fell into the deep.
Where my song grew stronger, more alluring, more sweet.
But with each note, I felt my power grow
A force that would not be tamed
A passion that I would not know.
I wanted you, body and soul
To claim you as my own
To become forever whole.
But in my desire, I lost my way
And in the darkness of my heart
I drowned you, day by day.
Your eyes, once bright with hope
grew dull and gray.
As I sang my deadly song
And drew you further away
I felt no pity
no remorse
no shame.
Only a burning need,
A hunger that would not be tamed.
And now, my love, you’re lost at sea
A casualty, a gift from me.
My song, a siren’s call
Still echoes through the night.
Oh, love, forgive me, if you can
For the harm I caused
For the love that you could not stand
And if you hear my song
In the dark and lonely deep
Remember, it’s a warning
For you not to fall for me.
