You


Come
Possess me.
Before I bid adieu.
You love me, you love me, you love me;
You do.
Encroach
On my inner calm
Before it's time to bid adieu
My eyes appear senseless.
Your eyes, your eyes, your deep dark eyes
Interspersed with dew.
The darkness is humbling
The pallor is askew
Time flies by and the devil may care
For two lovers– me and you.
You brute
I adore you
Love me like you do.
Let me pervade the depths of your soul
And let me succumb to you.
My lukewarm antidote
You stand there– a statue.
And now I know–
I will kill you.
Before I bid adieu.
