Cruel Mistress Death

“Cruel Mistress Death”
Her naked heart she bore to me
When whips and chains were placed on me
I called her name 
	Once
Shrill
	Loud pain
But she did not stop
My punishment, demise
She cut me and I held back
My tongue to scream
But she stopped so quickly
The foul stench of her kisses
Turned me to rage 
I pulled tight on the chains
Felt the rope tighten
The stool slipped fell
I died there in love and torture
