Making Love by Gaslight

A Poem by Dripping Chocolate Madness
"

Sure, it's no candle...

"
*tink*
*tink*
The dripping sink.
The faucet leaks
And still, we drink.
We dull our senses
So we can think,
And talk about the past.

We've scribed our lives
In blood and ink.
Removed our eyes
So we could wink.
We've rid ourselves
Of human-stink
In a chocolate scented bath

*tink*
*tink*
The kitchen sink.
I hear it drip.
It helps me think.
I see your lifeless body sink.
I knew you couldn't last.

Drink. Drink.
Elephants. Pink.
I popped your lock.
You chained my link.
We both quaffed nonsense and kited kink.
And here we are:
Unwrapped.

Thx! It was fun to write. Not used to rhyming but I enjoy it.
this is mad good

i'm a huge fan of rhyme and things that are kind of off kilter, this is a little trippy in parts which i really like. the title is very interesting because of it's double meaning :) (if you know you're being gaslighted then it's really just role playing, right?)

favourite lines:
I popped your lock.
You chained my link.

a chocolate scented bath sounds very appealing also
