Fair Jilt

This morning she awoke with a bag over her head
and now her screams echo from my trunk
I love you, she once claimed
But now her lies are muffled
her cheating hands bound with tape
Perfidy was once punishable by death
Where has since gone the executioner?
I raise the knife, shouting fuck you for this plague
She is beauty. She is death
Her throat shall bleed tonight, a river of scarlet love
Tonight she dies a lonely slut
Spread your legs and fly like the whore butterfly that you are
for, in my eyes, you no longer have wings
You once were an angel in my heart
now a demon before my torn self
Haunted by you I am with the closing of my eyes
Remove these stones from my chest
this knot from my stomach
Allow me to dream again, to wake again
without thoughts of you
Release me from your webs of deceit and pledges of comfort
Free me from this curse with your screams
I once would have died for just one more tomorrow
but now will kill for the promise of no more yesterdays
I miss you and all that we had
The smiles, the joy, the laughter
All of it was broken with the silencing of your voice
I now appreciate my mortality
having looked for an end to this pain
But more importantly, I wished only for you
You have shunned me from your heart
only for me to find its vacancy filled by another
And it's cold here in the dark. It's so cold in the dark
Love is a hateful game
Prepare and take your last breath
Suffer the pain I have endured
Veiled in blood, you will become my bride
With him you have learned all the lessons
I had hoped you would never learn
Well tonight, my dear, I shall teach you your last
I love you
