You are my wounds
You are infectious
You creep into my very being,
without realizing it

You slowly kill me with those
(ever so) sweet smiles...
and twinkling eyes,
slowly infecting me

You are my entire world
but you're starting to collapse on me
You shove me away,
afraid

"What are you afraid of, little boy?"
I would never hurt you...
No, you hurt me

You’ve already infected me...
with your soft whispers,
and dark secrets:
A dark past to match

No antidote to help
No cure for this disease(oflove or isithate?)
So I slowly wither away
My heart's slowing
My brain's shutting down
(all because of you...
just 'cuz everything's always been about
you)

You torture me
You wound me
You infect me
You kill me

You truly are
my beautiful...
(oh, no no no...)
my en-chant-ing
...
(wrong again...)

my one and only...
murderer


This took me forever to edit and tweak (my forever -> two months). I wanted this to be one part anger, two parts mournful, and ninety-seven parts me. Hope you like it.
