when
i choke your soul
with a barbed wire,
would your eyes bleed fire
like they used to?
when
i drag the carcass of my love
leave it to rot at your feet
will you stoop to the ground,
caress it like you used to?
for when
i am gone, i'll still be around
and you
shall find yourself
abiding by my rules,
unbeknownst to your conscience
