The rain is pouring
Down all around me.
Acidic drops of
Hallucinogenic drugs.
Maybe I'll see you,
Maybe this time
You won't turn your back.
Your image begins to form
In this forsaken borderland
Between what is tangible and
What is fantasy.
I stagger over to you,
Reach out my hand,
Caress your cheek,
Kiss you until daybreak,
Wrap my arms around
Thin air.
My own acidic drops
Now bleeding into those
Already existant.
Love me.
Love me, damnit!
Can't you see,
You're my
Luxury,
Incision,
Fantasy,
Everything.
Acronym of everything
That I am.
But you can't see that.
So I will be cliched and
Like Beauty and the Beast,
Tell you to love me
Before the last petal falls.
Before this blade strokes by my throat.
Author notes
The line "Love me before the last petal falls" is from a Nightwish song titled "Beauty and the Beast".
