Confliction

So much confliction

Fight or flight
Wrong or right
Light or night
Blind or sight
Retreat or height

Met every road with conviction

An angels plight
In battle for her knight
Where flames ignite
Love is written on the invite

The cure to my addiction
My heart in restriction
My actions in detention

The longer I’m without – the deeper I’m itching
The louder I shout, the harder I am reaching

But baby, ever since my eyes saw you I can’t stop twitching
Darling, maybe you could stick around and help with my affliction
