black alexandria

greet her with lips not with tongue
flame your hands and touch her stars
lose it all, unite your souls
and wake up with a scar

the plague of black alexandria
(taste / meet) the plague of black alexandria

beware, beware of them eyes
hold your jaw before they drop
you might be, do not be mesmerized
when your phantasms sit on your lap

soul told to be cold
now you hold
cupid's bow
transfixed on your chest

black alexandria!
you own me! yet i don't own you!

she made my death look sweet
she made believe it was my dream
her beauty denied my rights
her wisdom heightened them nights
her illness wrecked my lights

her name nests underneath my breath
and so breathed by others..
