Feeling his voices abrasion
On more than one occasion
His reply was sudden and abrupt
My appetite for glory
Stops this senseless story
All power is corrupt

Decisive it was good
Only I and my consort understood
Deciphering it's mystique
Thought such adolescent passion
Is now slightly out of fashion
True love is antique

There was an abundance in fear
Due to an accumulation of tears
For no power is absolute
Though sometimes you're of no use
To the best I can deduce
Your density is an attribute

Tis not an actual ability
Though executed with agility
Nary a blessing in disguise
Serving as a stand-in
Just to recklessly abandon
I sincerely apologize

Before absence is detected
I do not wish to be protected
As my brain it will erode
No drug to administer
His eyes gray and sinister
Burning my sanity's abode

Her face pale and placid
Her voice sour as acid
Her angelic form I see
Two corpses lying adjacent
Voices gasped and hastened
Accordingly punished was she

With affectionate arms I embraced
Leaving my reputation disgraced
An accessory to murder
A title not hard to achieve
With severe punishment to receive
Denying access any further

The details are so petty
Though reminiscent of spaghetti
No such memory is apparent
Your intetnions I don't desire
I really don't admire
A reply so incoherent

Guilty by admission
Rendering an accurate description
under an assumed alias
No visible advantage
I barely can manage
Your intelligence I address

Your opinion please abbreviate
I'm sure you'dappreciate
the absorbant mind of a child
Placed upon the shelf
an assault upon myself
Though the pain be mild

My senses were delayed
My faith you betrayedBut now my trust is regrown
Deciding to hurry
Provoking paused fury
The abstract purpose is unknown

Not deriving much pleasure
next to comparable treasure
Emotions still feeding the fire
With emphasis on the latter
what does it matter
It's a taste you acquire

May I recommend some advice
Before my ultimate demise
Take care of those you hold dear
Employing allure
He remains amateur
Yet the two lovers adhere

Alas, I'm ashamed
Of my fondness for fame
The temptations vary
Agitating my mind
Transforming me blind
With heavy burdens carry
