Dead Pillow Talk

 
I loved you enough
to dig up your grave
For you were the best
of love's sweet lies
my savior in a
stolen heartbeat of time
 
And look at you now
dirty despair
caked in your smile
hair all mussed
and a purple worm in your eye
the ache of death
staining your favorite gown
and some new perfume
I don't dare  
to recognize
 
See  
I brought wine
thought we  
might reminisce  
Mull our foolishness  
of dreams gone by
relight the memory fires
kiss the ghost  
of your soft lips
watching moonlight  
paint the sky
 
I know you  
always cherished
your precious  
little boy  
how we used to  
wake up dancing
each twirl  
around the heart  
a dizzy  
breathless  
sigh
 
But I didn't come to dance
and you'd kill me for a lie
so if I promise to be quick
and 'cause I'm certain  
you wont mind
Just once  
for old time's sake
I'm gonna steal your panties
and then jump you  
from behind
