Girl with the red dress
I knew she would say yes
Follow my sweet caress
Come fly with me

The girl with the soft eyes
you know that she tries
but the girl with the red dress
should come follow me

Come into my garden
Laid soft low like eden
I felt like a heathen
She followed me

Green and alight
Shines in the night
Cool and soft and
smooth with her bight

She ripped into me
At part she was free
But she passed away
'Cos she followed me

It's about a guy (could be a woman but I chose a guy).  He is the sumptuous desirable object for a number of women but he's a very dark character and ultimately destroys them.  His charms are strong enough to keep them but his dark traits are enough to break them down.  The Eden aspect was just my thought of one man being the poisened apple and the the snake that makes her eat it.
It's no take on religion,  it's was just the vehicle I found myself using as I wrote it.

Dark Kisses wrote a poem called heartbreak in here,  I guess you could call that the flip side in a way.
