Seduction of the Muse - The Poet's Despair

Expectations, my dear,
My demon, my love.

I called, and you came.
I wept, you dried my tears.
Show me to another dawn,
Get me past my fears.

Expectations, my dear,
My demon, my love.

How often have you surrendered,
Beneath such a blow?
The matter of a man is a simple truth:
How far can we go?

Expectations, my dear,
My demon, my love.

I wonder where you got the strength,
I wonder how you knew,
I wonder where you found the gall,
To do the things you do.

Expectations, my dear,
My demon, my love.
