• Her lips parted.
    She had no choice
    for I hath stolen
    her golden voice.

    Her eyes dimmed.
    Her body - quivered.
    Death to her
    I hath delivered.

    In her breast...
    A glimmer
    An edge
    A stain, a cut.
    I killed her... but...

    I had never realized how beautiful
    Her voice was until she screamed
    I never realized her eyes
    Were the ones of which I'd dreamed
    AND
    Weren't those lips ones I loved to kiss?
    Weren't those hands the ones whose touch I'd miss?

    If only actions
    could be undone
    then I wouldn't be
    the lonely one.
    When I bury you
    beneath the sun,
    know that my life, too,
    is forever done.
