Demon Seed (Flavia's Song)
When I first saw you
(As only I could see you),
The demons that lurk within you,
Were so conspicuously close to my eyes;
A lesser man can only see your beauty,
Your stark and haunting beauty,
But not the pain and sorrow that beauty belies.
The God that made you
(And it was in such a strange way that He made you),
Fashioned you somewhat akin to the night;
He took a vast expanse of darkness,
A pristine and flawless darkness,
And studded it throughout, with stars blazing bright.
So from thence was made a woman
(A sad and splendid woman),
Majestic, yet still one that clings to life tenuously;
A perfection composed of dark and light,
An enrapturing soul filled with darkness and light,
A startlingly symmetrical, electrical dichotomy.
So now I am helplessly in love
(I have no choice at all but to be in love),
With she who hides her best from the ignorant eye;
For I myself, was made in a similar way,
And though my beauty has long since been taken away,
It would still be a cataclysm – she and I!
