Siren

You think Prince Charming will sweep you away?
Don't be so naïve he's only looking for a lay.
He won't won't ride in and save your life,
He will give you the same worry and strife.
Romeo took his life by his hands
and Juliet followed unable to live alone.
That's not romance but inability to think herself.
The fairytale is but a fleeting dream we try
Muddied by our ability to fake and lie.

Sirens seduced men with their haunting songs,
takings men's souls and trapping their emotions
so that they are driven mad by a deep longing
that will never be fulfilled or made into reality.
Their ironic and passionate love call
simply drove men to a place where they would fall
into intoxicating addiction that would implode their minds.
Oh siren, stop calling my name and taking me into
your dark place where I can never escape you.

I want to crash into your life and save you from
your self and the hurt that makes your mind a storm.
The thunder bolts that impale your consciousness
and muddle your brain into that stupid mess,
I want to take in my hands and mould into peace.
We may be faced with a life only on a short lease,
but why accept this term as interest only or not ours
when we have those moments that were only mine and yours?
