Dying In Bed

THE bed a crime scene of sorts 
a passion spilled in sweat 
willingly i go - to my death 
 
He comes to me in the night 
a sword sharpened by lust 
and thrusts it into my soul 
  
Mother, i'm ready to come home 
but the line between pain & pleasure 
is small compared to the pleasant death 
  
The coroner will say an untimely passing 
but my murderous lover knew the timing 
each plunge of his knife ever deeper.
