Awoken in the night
To find you once again in my midst

I'll never understand the control you had over me
The power you wielded enabling me to act like this

Your once oh so intoxicating presence
Began chokes me like a thick cloud of poision

But from you I just couldn't get away
Almost as if in time I was frozen

The closer you got to me
The more I choked and heaved
I can't believe that once upon a time
I was so easily decieved

Your once so soft and warm hands
That use to caress my face
Are now hard, cold, and burn my skin like fire

Why is it that my heart
Wanted what it wanted
Even the worst possible desire?

Just as your poisionous presence
Threatened to do away with me
Your grip suddenly released and I was set free

But never the less
The traces of you and marks you left
Still remain all over me

No matter how hard I try to forget
I just don't have enough strength
I guess I'll always recall
The night you came so close
To stealing my very last breath
