Don'T Give Me Pleasure Then Give Me Pain

i dreamt a thousand dreams
that echoed in your face
free to fly on butterfly wings
disappear without a trace

to still my heart with your voice 
rhythmic as the rain
touch my skin caress my lips
embracing thought elusive gain

a sting of pain pricked by pleasure
nurse my fears and dry my eyes
embody my nightmare overcome my dreams
a love thought to be true


left to bleed a broken heart
no remorse for what you did
I, fragile as a falling leaf
benevolence and innocence forgiving what was done

true you gave me the greatest pleasure
but, doth now hold my hear with care
for you control its state
the greatest joy can also give the greatest pain
