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.
