Fatal Attraction

I looked into her eyes Searched through the glassy stare To see if I was in there I checked her vital signs Released her head and cried I breathed in you for the last time She came in like a dove I crushed her tight as steel 'Said "I'll make you fly even higher" When she didn't move I spread her limp wings She was dead and grey Our faces looked the same From dust you were formed To dust you've returned And like a pungent incense inside You still burn I confess it was fatal attraction I pray you've forgiven but I just can't forget That I'm the grave that your innocence lies in Haunting my mind And as I sized her with my eyes I never asked for perfection 'Cause then I couldn't keep counting short But her wounds were cauterized Too late to stave infection She was dying to please me More of all the reasons I hated here She was more just like the monster creating her I confess it was fatal attraction I pray you've forgiven but I just can't forget That I'm the grave that your innocence lies in Haunting my mind If I could change the blueprints I'd tear out the page That said that in my hands You would be safe As the potter shapes the clay Come what may But in our hands its beauty breaks
