I'll be the corpse in your bathtub

Useless

I'll be as deaf as a post

If you hold me like a newborn

Whisper what you feel

My badly strung declaration

To You

You'll spend the end of your days

Gently smiling like a newborn

Love not by degrees

Press your lips

To my eyes

Taste my tears

On your tongue,

Pull the blinds

Play our song

Nothings changed

Nothing could be wrong.

Scream in the night

Kick and skrike

Like a newborn

Holding me shaking

Awake in the dark

All of these promises

Kept and unbroken

Tracing the scars

Tracing the scars

Even and cold

As we both become older.

Your arms bound about me

The hush in your voice.

The warmth of your fingers

Entwined around mine

In the eve of our lives

Never a choice.
