Teasing and haunting me day and night Tormenting and testing my sanity's might... Life is wilderness without you by my side As rough as a sea on a stormy night Yearning to hold you in my arms tight For you are the reason to my existence right... Lovelorn and languishing, frustrated and pining The devil in me slowly crawling and creeping Patience slipping, making me miserable and mooning I await your arrival into my strong arms crooning and craving Oh Mina! My Mina...Dear Mina... I long for your love I live for your love I breathe love, I see love, I drink love Mad in love For you and you and you alone..... Don't let the Satan in me tout The devilish aches and suffering bouts The horror, the terror I feel without you Like the vampires spitting fire and venom spruce... Ever yours, Your devil of a lover, Dracula.
