Ballad of a Twisted Love

I love you,

that much I cannot deny.

Your beautiful smile,

your silky hair.

I love every part of you.

No matter what happens to you,

I will always be there for you,

there to catch you,

there to show you love.

No matter how much you change,

I will never stop loving you.

No matter your emotions,

I won't hesitate to stay devoted to you.

I would follow you to the ends of the earth,

I would die for you.

These days,

you haven't been well.

These days,

you seem forever tired.

It's a new case,

you say.

A new case of

a serial killer.

I help you in any way I can.

I cook, I clean, I help you deduce.

Then, one night, you come home stricken in fear.

One night,

you cry in my arms.

You tell me,

how much you love me.

You tell me,

that you may be next.

You tell me,

what you have found.

Tonight,

I hold you in my arms,

for I fear there will be no other opportunity.

I cry, and then hug you tight.

You go limp in my arms.

Tears streaming down my face,

I whisper in your ear,

"You're right. I love you too."

Somewhere, a woman laughs,

somewhere, a woman bathes in blood.

Bathes in the blood

of her former husband.
