Here Lies Love.  November 24th   2004 - June 13th 2005


Slowly I will fall,
Each breath a waste of air
Each thought a waste of mind.
Always I will remember,
And nightmares will scream at me
And tears will drown me.

You will use me.
Take the heart upon my sleeve
And keep it.
You will use my desires and drive me to lust.
And be empty.  
You’ll turn cold and lie.

You will be my every thought.
And I will gravitate to your every will.
I will have no choice.
You’ll bury me in the dark.
Not before you place your hand
Over my mouth.

You will kill me.
You’ll cut my wrists.
And be the blood that drips endlessly from them.
You’ll suffocate me.
And be the lost air that asphyxiates me.   

You’ll be the reflection I stare at.
And hate.
And you’ll be the lies falling from my mouth.
The sky that crashes down
The darkness of my closing eyes
You’ll be my death.

Slowly I will rot and disintegrate,
You’ll be sorry.
They’ll all be so sorry.
You will become the prayers said for me.
The ashes, the dust.
And slowly I will fade away.

And you’ll love me once again.
