Even Her Silhouette Speaks

Sheets streaming, this cold sweat
Immediately upon seeing your silhouette
I want to but I cannot control it
I am simply strings, a marionette
I'm a tangled-up kite, trapped in your typhoon
Entranced in this dance but I never move
But please don't ever cut me loose
The way you constrict, the most comfortable noose
Take it, my blood flows for you anyway
This promise, I beseech you keep, I pray
When I stop breathing, my heart stops beating
I plead that you not take your hands away
When, in the ground, my body is set to lay
I beg, just let, with you, my spirit stay
I've become as mad as a man can get
Stumbling upon my soulmate's silhouette
Light behind so bright, made blind my eyes
But it is the shadow I cannot forget
