Conundrum

[-J-]

Cast into shadow

By your enticing eclipse

When you cleansed my soul

With purifying darkness,

I was brighter than the sun.

Surrounded by song

As I watched you helplessly,

When the first bell tolled

I knew I was your captive.

I had never felt so free.

I felt you gush, but

I want your tender embrace.

You break all the rules

Of this ersatz universe

And you feel more real than most.

Time is slowing down

Kindly to accommodate

My galloping heart.

You encourage my return

To the nightmare I escaped.

Without one regret,

I've never felt more unsure.

You promised nothing,

Which I graciously accept.

All of my dreams have come true.

(Song in my head.)

[Sharp]

A conundrum indeed.
