Fatal Harmony

Heart-attacks are in style, and we’re just keeping up with the times.
Time it so that we’re in-tune.
Your smile will set the rests in place
And treble cleft kisses to signal the start of a new line.
And all the colors of your eyes dance on my memory
Your sweet bird-heart singing songs with mine
A beautiful chorus that only lovers can know.
I was waiting for someone to scale the walls
But they simply crumbled at your words
I didn’t fall into your trap
I ran right in,
Jumped into the pit, right into your arms.
(How wonderful it feels to be caught!)
I saw that look in your eyes, and it spoke volumes to me
For once
I believe,
I believe,
I believe.
