twice a day

twice a day I die for you
I writhe and stew and steam
this love, it’s like a virus too
a slip without redeem

once a day I cry for you
inside these dewy dreams
it’s of a simple style, too
slides right into the seams

once upon a time for you
I tried to do it right
I’d beg and steal and bribe but you
still saw right through my sleight

this final time I fie for you
a masochist’s delight
I sold my soul to buy from you
just one enchanted night
