If only I could cast a spell
It's coils to bind you tight
I could pull you down beside me
To make love in clear moonlight.

To kiss my lips and feel breasts
Caught in your warm embrace
I would cry and howl and claw
And you would know my face

But time and place elude me
Only in dreams can I be lain
All I have are aches and longing
You can't ease my pain

Time will bring my hearts desire
Or so say those that know me
But I have known lifes bitter tears
That burn and scald me nightly

You are bound and I am caught
Nought can break that claim
So I must live outside your life
And tend my guttering flame.
