Galvanizing Angel

By my own admission
You are the cause of my addiction
Watching you for years
From years away
Obsessed with your sensuous skill
I desired it but lacked the will
And now it seems my life
Has gone astray
Allowing myself freely to ride
On the wave of infatuation you provide
Taken by your acoustic charm I'm
Mute to play
As my ears strain to listen
I'm caught in superstition
Will I ever hear your living sigh
Harmonic refrain
I've never understood what's in your song
That keeps me holding on
A simple chirp from mismatched eyes
Stops the rain
Thirty years of this addiction
Causes me such shame and reflection
Entranced by a siren's call
Loving the pain
Keep singing angel
Keep my heart beating
Force me to walk out
Of myself.
