Part One: Sting
"Come to me."
I'm sitting at my vanity table brushing my freshly washed hair into soft waves that frame my face like a curtain of chestnut satin when I hear him in the door. I'm naked underneath the Japanese silk kimono I wear, the green making my red hair seem brighter somehow, the sun creating a golden halo on my crown. I turn slightly, recognizing the tone as not one he uses for playfulness. I have to get dressed soon if we're to make it to the soirée this evening.

I would fall to my knees begging to have it
For to me, you are the light from its rays
In this world full of strangers,
You are the someone I know
who can behold my dreams
when the night falls
and the evil within come
taking control with every sweep of the shadows
you tease and torment
making fantasies unwind.
If you knew I would hurt you would you stay
Or follow the path of yesterday
Away from me
To find the road to your future
A future of dreams.
If you knew I would cry on your shoulder
Would you stay,
Knowing my lashes were never meant for pain
Would you hold me tighter
Tighter as I try to wrench free
Using but my words to cut you
When darkness come,
I am taken away
Memories...
