Your words are a spell and I am yours to control Every syllable slips like smoke through my bones I trace the danger written under your tone Like a secret I swore I’d never own I step to the edge just to prove I’m strong But gravity hums when you pull me along Every warning sign flickers and fades When your shadow dances across my veins I try to run but your accent lures me back Every vow I make dissolves into black I know the fire, I know the fall Still hear your whisper above it all Your eyes see right through my soul And you must know I’m begging for your attention I crave your taste, I envy your touch I want nothing more than to be consumed by you Pull me deeper into your control Where my resistance turns into confession I lose my name when you say it slow I want nothing more than to be consumed by you You wear temptation like a tailored sin Every glance feels like you’re letting me in My pulse writes poems across your skin While my better judgement caves within You speak in promises dipped in night Painting devotion in ultraviolet light I tell myself that I’ll disappear Yet I bloom whenever you draw me near I try to breathe but you steal the air Every escape route ends in your stare I know the cost, I know the truth Still trading daylight just to stand with you Your eyes see right through my soul And you must know I’m begging for your attention I crave your taste, I envy your touch I want nothing more than to be consumed by you Pull me deeper into your control Where my resistance turns into confession I lose my name when you say it slow I want nothing more than to be consumed by you If this is ruin, let it fall like rain Let it stain every promise I tried to contain You turn my fear into velvet chains And I wear them like a lover’s name Every heartbeat signs your decree Every silence pulls you from me If surrender is where I’m meant to be Then close the distance and swallow me Your eyes see right through my soul And you must know I’m begging for your attention I crave your taste, I envy your touch I want nothing more than to be consumed by you Pull me deeper into your control Where my resistance turns into confession I lose my name when you say it slow I want nothing more than to be consumed by you Your words still linger under my skin Like a vow I break just to feel again If loving you is my sweetest undoing Then I’ll stay spellbound… willingly ruined.
