Just Another Love Story

Tighten the noose around my throat

Pull the rope until it’s a part of me

Make a mark so deep that blood seeps out.

In red I write my promise to you

I love you more than life.

You think you love me too until

You keep pulling it tighter because I don’t complain.

Tear me apart and leave me to piece myself back up.

Rip out my lungs so you take my breath away;

Break my ribs, take my heart so it’s yours;

Press in my eyes because you’re the only one I see;

Cut off my tongue so you leave me speechless;

Sever my hands so you can hold them forever;

Peel off my lips so you’re my last kiss;

Hack off my legs so I don’t fall for anyone else;

Drain what’s left of my blood and drink it,

So I’m all yours.

Walk away because I didn’t do enough,

Because I should’ve given you more.

Take what’s left, just don’t walk away

I can’t stitch myself back up.

Take my ears, my nose, my scalp, my feet

Because I’m head over heels for you.

I’m yours I promise. You can make the rope tighter

Until my head goes rolling on the floor.

It won’t be enough then either.

But at least now, you have to hide the body.
