HELLO OLD FRIEND

Years and decades of long nights pleasantly Engulfed by your wretched beats my old friend Hello old friend

A temptress you are - whispering the forbidden euphonies Seducing the hell out of my feelings Enthroning me as the master of the coolly-detached My crippling heart skipping beats to the metronome of your whims Whatever oozes out might not be mine

But I survived the long dark nights Because you made just being a fascination Hail to your power and I want this power Till the day I am nothing but somebody’s old friend
