Love's Death

Love’s Death

You leave me hanging

A phallic noose around my neck

In the background, the drums roll

My heartbeat is its tune

A feeling of loneliness

Not knowing whether you’re here or not

My emotions are the framework

From which I now swing

But, it’s you that put me here

Your hands tied the knot

Is it your laughter I hear in the distance?

Or do your tears fill my ears

As the grip tightens, and my last breath escapes me

I hope my thoughts are as good for me in death

As they were in life

These thoughts of you…
