The Piper

I felt your hand upon my stair
It shook me up, I gasped for air
Of pities young and falsehoods new
A mind destroyed by what it knew

You bear fruit from the forbidden tree
You cast me from my playful fantasy
Played me a song of midnight dew
Told me things I wish I never knew

I can't help being a trifle strange
I can't alter what Fate's already arranged
You can't shred God's song of you and me
Or undo the threads of this dark tapestry

It's late at night; I rest my head
My thoughts are gone, let's go to bed
Time has fallen, tastes like dew
(This is where I won't write a line about you)

Madness is a strange thing
It chooses who it may
Why did I come to love you?
The world may never say

Let us part before too late
Your voice is lovely, but masks a dark fate
Farewell forever, I won't miss you when you're gone
For you are the Piper and destroyed us with your song
