Into Darkness

I ma come to your door and knock.
You gonna open the door and stare
I ma say nothing but smile
That big beautiful smile
That lights up ma eyes.
Then I ma jus gonna shock you
Sweep you into ma arms, tight
Drink of the sweet nectar of your mouth
One long breathless kiss
Fight it you may, I don't care
Then I ma put you down soft
Look into those exquisite eyes of yours
And whisper what I have always wanted to
That I have always loved you
That you light up my world
That you are everything I always wanted
My own Juliet
I ma turn and walk away.
Eyes glistening, knees weak
Ma heart yearning for more, for you
I ma walk and never give you a chance
To burst ma bubble, ruin ma moment
For I know you got someone
You love someone.
I ma etch that moment, engrave to my soul
As I walk into the darkness.
