Cheated Desire

I sit here in the lonely quietness
Bitterness fills my heart
I'm cursing myself for not knowing
You'd played me from the start

The others around me don't notice
How my fury has set me ablaze
I've buried myself in the flickering flames
Simmering silently in the haze

I look at the mirror on the floor
Where I placed it by my side
It cannot reflect my blackened heart
Or all the anger I hide

You think you are so much more
Ha! My dear, your miles beneath
I'll remember you fondly
On your grave a blood red wreath

You see my darling I'm on my way
To your bright and beautiful home
Where you have been quietly living
In solitude, very much alone

I have a little present for you
I'm bringing with me a surprise
Better than the one you gave me
I saw with my own eyes!

My loved one in my bed so early
Entwined in the grip of another!
How dare you betray me dear!
My sweetheart and my lover!

You performed your manly duties
With her, thinking of me
Our photoframe beside the bed
It was my face you could see!

She didn't stay long, that little slut
She left you, feeling ashamed
And you protested your innocence
Declared you couldn't be blamed!

Is your bed so much colder now
Without me laid with you?
I'm going to tie you to that bed
Now you've said we're through!

I'll tie you down with silken scarves
And softly caress your skin
Enjoying my perfect moment
The quietness filled with sin

It won't stay quiet for long darling
The crackling snapping fire
Will snarl its way through your house
Mirroring my desperate desire

My rage inside will never slow
You will burn, as will I
I'll stand and I'll watch it unfold
The blaze clawing at the night sky

What? You say that I'm insane?
I might confirm that it's true
But we'll be devoured by the bonfire first
Together forever, me and you.
