a tragedy in three acts

act one
say my name, darling
hold me too tightly (kiss me)
make my pulse run w i l d
your cheeks are oh-so-pale (but
i know how we can fix that)

act two
i want to see through
your eyes (deep inside of you)
to what hurts you so
rip it out by the roots and
i'll lick the blood from your lips

act three
you feel so lifeless
when i take you in my arms
(cold but still breathing)
it’s nothing but a whisper
i wish you would smile for me
