As I feel them closing in
I can't help but wonder
When will the hurt begin?
It starts with a tainted lover.
As I feel them slither on
I hoped they picked another
For now, I'll be their pawn.
She was her fool, the other.
As they coil around my neck
For her, there is no other
Their love is venom, it's opaque
By sunrise, I'll be a goner.
As I feel their grip thighten
This pain I can not conquer
They kiss; Their eyes lighten
I am not their bother.
As I try to free myself
I scream and cry to kill the monster
The two hiss. They're one self
There's nothing left. They have no honor.
As I feel it getting harder
I see her, the robber
I fell my body getting lighter
Their poison got much stronger.
If only they were aware
Of what they did to each other
All I wish is for them to dare
To seek another.
It's late. They limp to the ground...
They loved each other too much.
They shall now be soul bound
But they shall never touch.
