"Je ne dors plus"...             (I can't sleep anymore)

     Writhing in darkness.   
     Tossing; unrest.
     Churning in turmoil.
     Rising, I crest.

     "Je te desire"...                   (I desire you)

     Wanting to feel you.
     Needing release.
     Aching to taste you.
     Yearning; unceased.

     "Prends moi"...                    (Take me)

     Giving my body.
     Begging your soul.
     Taking my passion.
       Making you whole.

     "Je suis a toi"                       (I'm yours)

     Breaching the chasm.
     Coursing; my veins.
     Burning my body.
     Craving; remains.

     "Mea Culpa....."                  (I'm guilty)

     "Je veux aller au bout de mes fantasmes"...     (I want to go to the end of my fantasies)

     Hunting, I seek you.
     Basic, I prowl.
     Seething, I snare you.
     Primal, I howl.

     "Je sais que c'est interdit"...      (I know it is forbidden)

     Forbidden; in mourning.
     Verboten, taboo.
     Searching the righteous.
     I find only you.

     "Je suis folle"...                        (I am crazy)

     Sinking to madness.
     Falling from grace.
     Blinding; my passion.
     Haunting; your face.

     "Je m'abandonne"...                 (I am letting myself go)

     Helpless to fight you.
     Tormented, I call.
     Prostrate for mercy.
     Surrendering all.

     "Mea Culpa...."                       (I am guilty)
