Analysis of I am more!

Tonia Mari Babbitt 1980 (România)



I saw you as an Idol, obeyed you as a slave
In the dark, you were my candle-
The fire in you I have always craved.
You smiled, I blushed;
You touched me, I trembled;
You kissed me, I was rushed
With passion...nimble.
So bright, I believed you were the sun.
Just looking at you was so much fun!
I worshiped you believing you are the king;
In all I dreamed, you were my everything.
But your ego was so vaunted!
For you iwas bot an Idol, but a slave.
It wasn't my love that you wanted-
But my body you always craved!
