I tried to be free,
but under lock and key
you haunt me in my dreams.
With a skeletal finger
running down my cheek,
your laughter resonates,
my beating heart in your hand,
and blood splattering my face.
The warm salty liquid chokes.
Your cold lips against mine,
I feel my life slipping away,
convulsing and twisting
while your hollow eyes look on.
Your breath is hot and putrid,
bringing tears to my eyes,
but I am leaving now.
Blood soaks the sheets;
my chest, sunken from death,
rises no more, as I take your hand.
Floating off, I rise with a jerk –
Oh, God, this love is killing me.
