death by promise.

death by promise.
__________________

Somewhere between
here, there, and all-
wheres; she waits like
patient death ..to kill me
with her smile.

(which makes an empty
promise.)

yet I crave the poison of
those kisses!..

like a stately midnight
masochist..cutting himself
merrily on the razors of
her eyes!

Dying sucks..
I know because i have died
so many times i no longer
count the ways there are to
die.

i just know it sucks...
more and more each time.

(but i would gladly
let her kill me...yes..gladly...
a death -by- promise!..
or passionate suicide..
for all the world to see.)
