my soul is one of song prose and poetry dance in my heart and mind both, and you were my favorite song for a time; but you always spurned my sexual advances unless you were in the mood too-- once you told me that i was a succubus, but i have always been a siren because music and water touch every point of my soul; i wanted you to be my heart's duet the melody in me that never died-- i wanted you fully as i gave myself fully to you, but i was always told that i was too driven and too focused upon my sexual appetites that i should pray for redemption; but why should i be shamed for feeling the same way you did for me? i suppose it's because i'm a woman that i should want to be something innocent and pure, but i have always been a shade of grey; honesty, love, and light with a thousand flaws yet beautiful in my own way.
