Who are you  
to walk into my life  
to stare at me that way  
with mesmerizing eyes  
with an air of knowing  
your body commanding me  
your inaction owning me  
then walk away from me?

Who are you  
to walk back in my life  
to stare at me that way  
with mesmerizing eyes  
with a smile of knowing  
your body commanding me  
your action owning me  
then stroll away from me?

Who are you  
to walk into my life  
to smile at me that way  
with knowing eyes  
with embraces dear  
your soul commanding me  
your body owning me  
then pull away from me?

Who are you  
to walk into my life  
to kiss me that way  
with knowing lips  
with such responsive skin  
your heart commanding me  
your hands owning me  
then drive away from me?

Who are you  
to walk with me in life  
to talk to me that way  
with knowing words  
with embraces sweet  
your music commanding me  
your soul owning me  
then slip away from me?

Who are you  
to walk away from me  
to then return to me  
with my heart sore  
with your mind worn  
your words confusing me  
your inaction demanding me  
then ask all to be bound of me?

Who are you  
to rule what no man rules  
to own what no man owns  
with casual intrigue  
with remoteness invested  
your heart calling to me  
your will resisting me  
then try to leave me be?

Shall I not cry?  
Shall I not be?  
Shall I erase all of me?  
Shall I fall into misery?  
Shall I deny this fate?  
Shall I deny my heart?  
Shall I become an empty shell  
  
That you’ll not be alone,  
Release the Phoenix within me  
Release the One inside of you  
Consumed by guilt  
Consumed by pain  
And find each other  
In Eternity.

…Who are you…  
… to me?
