you look at me with your cat-like eyes
I can feel all the pain melting away
beneath the pain there are layers of ice
but they'll never melt because you'll never stay

can you see the way I'm looking at you?
can you hear the thunder of my beating heart?
I am a part of the damaged, the few  
and that is why we must be apart

whenever you laugh I feel heavenly bliss
whenever you smile I am illumination
I would give you my heart for one lovers kiss
you are my muse, my divine inspiration

but I'll never ask for the key to your life
I'll never seek to destroy something so pure
I live my life on the edge of a knife
I'm am a cancer and there is no cure
