Tainted Soul
I promised I’d be stronger
 Make my heart cold 
 And speak hard truths,
 But when it came to it, 
 I didn’t feel they were true 
 And my heart was warmed. 
 
 In her presence, 
 I’ll always take her side. 
 Even if I say I won’t. 
 She has my power, 
 I gave it all to her. 
 I can never be anyone else’s. 
 
 I can’t lie to her 
 It’s like that truth-telling potion. 
 But instead I only have to drink in her face
 And know that I’m weak. 
 She can wiggle her nose 
 And I’m her puppet. 
 
 Her arms around me
 Is the greatest feeling. 
 It’s like floating on air, 
 While everyone else is confined to the ground. 
 Her almost moments, 
 Make it hard to wait and see. 
 
 I love her too much, 
 Is that so wrong? 
 If it is a mistake, it’s mine! 
 No one else can have me, 
 Not like she can. 
 For anyone else, 
 I’m a tainted soul. 
 
 I understand her, 
 Like no one else ever will. 
 When everyone else, 
 Can’t stand what she’s saying, 
 I take it all in. 
 Hear every word. 
 
 I’m going to hold her, 
 Hug her and Love her. 
 She’s like my own personal waltz, 
 the strings playing softly. 
 She’s my dance partner 
 And my biggest competitor.
