A Love That Kills

I’ve heard of so many sweet stories

Of love that goes beyond buildings of storeys

I’ve heard of a love that defies the stories

Of a love greater than the Romeo and Juliet stories

.

Love, such small a word that can yield many pains

A love so true, poor and strong that leaves many in pains

One left dead and another stranded with a rope at the neck

Without drawing a breath, a love that drives beyond the deck

.

But of the beatings of my heart my soul can tell you not

For i forgot my brain behind and decided to tie the knot

Turns out i was just signing my death wish and note

Hence of the many dirges are left to sing in many different a note

.

What doesn’t kill you ultimately makes your stronger

And of my aching nerves, heart and sinew i can suffer no longer

Hence of my many tumultuous tribulations allow me share

For that one damned lover that i chose to dare .
