The Alchemist

What is this curious alchemy?
Your touch turns me to purest gold
I’m blindsided by chemistry

I lost grasp of reality
Desire for you was uncontrolled
What is this curious alchemy?

Such fervour would not let me see
The lies, the untruths that you told
I’m blindsided by chemistry

In feckless hands you held the key
To secrets you chose to withhold
What is this curious alchemy?

The heat of passion melted me
But truth has made my blood run cold
I’m blindsided by chemistry

And though it’s over, am I free?
I feel I’ll never be consoled
What is this curious alchemy?
I’m blindsided by chemistry
