Requiem For You

i raise to you a glass, my dear - 
   of sour lemon juice  
you've gone from me at last, my dear - 
   ah yes, i love you too  
your sticky flesh on everyone, excluding me - 
   so kind  
and the odor of mixed sweat and rum -
   the marks on your behind  
he hit, my dear? and who is he? - 
   or rather, who are they...  
that bind their lips to your thin lips - 
   a bountiful buffet  
enjoy, enjoy! oh tasty treat! your withered body - 
   spoiling meat  
i'd have strangled you in the midst of night - 
   if not your smell so sweet  
that's all, my dear, i bid adieu - 
   in hopes you'll see this from my view  
and take the time to really read this love poem 
   just for you  
and take the time to burn in hell - 
   this Requiem's for you
