An Ambiguous Mistress

She comes like a thief in the night
To recapture my soul
A friend from old with stories untold
She whispers in my ear
No one has to know
But I know when they look in my eyes
All my lies become told
My love for her never gets old
She's been with me through thick and thin

She comes in many forms,
Depending on how I feel for the night
She's the main reason of my great plight
Because of her I lost my true love
And she's back to take my new love
Why did I let her in,  this temptress of fate
She waits up for me even when it's late

Before I get off of work she calls my soul
Tells me she's waiting at my home
She sits by my table and watches me write
Quiet as a mouse until I feel right
plots she fills my head with are grandeur
I know she's only here to take my soul

I have a woman that means my world
This mistress causes me to put her on hold
She doesn't want money or my name
All she wants is cold ice and a twirl
She's cost me so much and still wants more
I gotta let her go,  I have to leave her alone
She always knows when im alone
She always knows when im home
She knows I'll always pick up the phone
Grab her by the neck and enjoy her whole

Who can I tell;  that doesn't know
She's back again and I'm sinking in
Drowning in her care
Running from despair
Craving a love that's so near
Trying to hold on to a woman that's so dear
While entertaining the devil's tears
Can I win or will I fail?
My goals have been so clear
Now she's back to refract the light
All of this on my great plight
