Here With Me You Will Stay

Here With Me You Will Stay I lie next to you in the partial darkness Lit only by a single bulb hanging from a cable I watch you sleep in a permanent slumber Your body cold with a rigid disdain No raging rhythm in your heart of cruel intention Silenced are the words You shouted to belittle me Leaving you breathless Never to be spoken again. Conceit reflected in your beauty Fading with each ticking moment The weight of time we spent together measured in ounces Never equated to a pound of love Threats of abandonment Leaving without regret will never to be realized Assured by the blade of my knife when it slit your throat.
