My Two-Faced Monster

To you I am addicted.

You mean to our game?

This hurt I had predicted.

Yet you scream my name.

I hate this feeling.

That says that you love me?

The love you are stealing!

Me? So culpatory!

Why do you joke?

Because it is.

Why must you provoke?!

He is yours, you are his.

The blood on my hands…

My lips on yours.

Don’t you understand?

How can't you be sure?

The pain you inflict.

My tender caress.

My emotions—they conflict--

I love you nonetheless.

Like a ghost, you haunt me.

I said I'd never leave your side.

All I do, all I breathe, all I see.

Yet you attempt to hide.

I have no tears left.

I never meant to make you cry.

But of this pain, I'm not bereft.

Can you blame me to try?

You gave me this ring--

Till the end, forever

--But my death it brings

To live, you still endeavor

Our vows just today--

My fingers were crossed.

--Will you throw them all away?

Any love is lost!

In sickness and in health

Two bodies, one heart

In poverty and in wealth.

Death will now us part

The gun to my head--

Your porcelain skin…

--As I’m strapped to your bed.

I told you I’d win.

You will be my doom,

It’s you that I save

My black-hearted groom.

By sending you to your grave.
