to my companion in life


Hey you
with the slow eye movements

I am not impressed
by your love

And the way you carve your words
on my back

When I sleep in
so bored
with your wisdom

I never liked you at all
and the praise they give you
for your patience
with me

Makes me turn my back
to your longing

I will never be your wife
but I shall have to get old with you
so that I can suck out
your goodness
slowly

and carve your heart out

when your heart is all that is left of you

and when our names are united
on our tomb stone
people who knew us will sigh

And say

Oh
they were such a passionate couple
and the way they died
asleep in each others embrace

They never looked for your heart

Never even noticed the hole in your chest
or the bloodstained spoon
in my fist

phew... that's almost incomprehensible... powerful words here, so powerful that a target might just as well prefer a knife to the gut. DAMN.

what talent.
