Aching Compromise

Howling heart, don't leave me Don't deplete the darkness Under hungry, loving eyes With any long-drawn-out goodbyes, aching, compromise. Howling heart, don't leave me Let this sufferance suffer The pangs of always Dreaming of our better tomorrows. Darling, don't you keep the wildness guessing Passion is a killer Passion is a force, there's no stopping Passion is a tiger Stalking inside of yeah And my love, it's hungry for that All-consuming fire That uncompromising, melancholic Phoenix of desire rising. Howling heart, don't leave me. Women, in the fiery dawn Please don't deny me! Unless it's because I'll always be here howling Like a hungry wolf at your door Love even if you treat me mean and bad I'll be that tiger I'll be that all-consuming fire Burning your desire Howling at your door Forevermore… 11/12/2000 Edited 28/01/2016
