You touch me
and again, I feel your poison
drifting across my body
corroding my skin
Like a century's rust
Your kiss should come with a warning label
Smile wide for me
Wider...
Let me see those fangs
Run your tongue over them
Make me burn for you
Tear me up inside again
Until the broken pieces
form bloodied portraits of lust on the ground
stitch my mouth shut
So I will never speak of love again
So I can never say your name
I love that little laugh you make
when you put your ear against my chest
So you can listen to my heart
and count the beats until it stops
there is no leaving you
I know. I've tried. I've said it before.
But you called the bluff
Sex is a tool - a sedative
(you know all the right buttons)
and your not finished with me yet
Oh, how you've changed me!
Memories of when I was happy
flash before my clouded eyes
Like dreams of a mad-man
Someone else's smile.
Someone untouched by your lips.
Now, staring over the edge of this cliff
I can't help but feel the pull of the rocks below
beckoning me to jump
They're beginning to look better everyday
But I can't even live without you
how could I hope to die without you
(another one of your cruel little jokes)
So I groan my empty laugh
and take you by the hand as I step off into nothing.
I never wanted it to end like this.
But at least this way
I can kiss you until we hit the bottom
wrap your arms around me.
Start counting
