Lines from a Salem 66 song

Haunted by this song since 1984, when I was 20.

"Pony Song"

I could love my murderer
but I could never love yours

There's something wrong
in a heart without a guiding light.
It flits from roof to roof in the night

 
I need to be locked on a planet
without a view
so I won't unravel at the sight of you

The sight of you consumes me

I am burning like the sun
and it isn't beneficial
I see now its sacrificial
I am telling you a secret 
that even I don't know

I could love my murderer
but I could never love yours
