Without my knowing, my life was spiraling downwards into a swirling vortex of destruction
Hands from below pulling me down, creating a colossal suction pit
It used to be that my only hope rested on the sharp, gleaming edge of a knife
Then you slipped into my life...
My mystery man, with a black shroud covering your face
And my fingertips, along your jawline I trace

As the shield around my heart falls away for a moment
I begin to wonder where all the sadness went
For your words touch me with their intricate design
Penetrating deep inside my inner shrine
Filling up the bottomless hole that was recently rent in my soul

A beam of moonlight ephemerally illuminates your profile
And I am trapped my the magnetism of your eyes the whole while
I realize that it was fated to be, for it is easy to tell
That no one else could save me but you, my dark angel
So as I lie here, wrapped in your embrace
For a fleeting instant, I know I have caught the love I eternally chase
