I watch you leave
Never to return
Leaving me
To rot alone
In the house we built.
I realize
That everything we ever did
Meant nothing anymore.
All the times we laughed
The way your body felt
On those cold winter nights
I fall to my knees and cry
I weep for you
I weep for the world I once knew.
I don't sleep that night.
I turn to a bottle and pop the cap
The next night
It makes me feel good
yet it tastes like crap.
I drink one, two three
Four more bottles.
I feel good.
I pass out and wake up
The next day.
The process goes on
I am found face down
In a pool of my own vomit
In my bathtub
Six months later.
You come back
To see me one last time
Before I enter the ground.
You weep heavily
And you say you should have stayed.
You blow your brains out
In front of my grave.

Lover

I want to love you.
I want to be your lover.
I want to fuck you.
I want to lay with you.
As we lay together
and the strains of Roxy Music play
You fall asleep and I slit your throat.
After that I slit my own throat.
I appeared to love you
but in reality
I wanted to kill your pretty face
I wanted to murder your beautiful body.

I loved him
The way he cared for me
The way he made me laugh
The love was gone though.
I left him
We agreed it was for the best
Little did I know
He descended into a personal hell
Which involved alcohol and drugs
I began to miss him
I called him one morning
He didn't answer
I read the paper the next day
and I read that he was found
Face down in his bathtub
I wept heavily
I went to his funeral
I wore the red dress he loved so much
I wept as he was lowered into the ground
I get drunk
I pick up my 45 magnum
Which I bought to protect myself
From the muggers in a dangerous
Area of town
I go to his grave
I put the gun in my mouth
I pull the trigger
I blow my brains out
