Want (this is love)

By Disassembly Boy

"How does it feel to want?"
The words fell from her mouth like murder, bloody murder.
On a night like this I've never wanted more.
The red and the angry,
The gripping of throats...
.. The sound of our choking love.. (so shrill)
So high
And the moon's so hot tonight..
Can you see me in the darkness
Waiting for your spark?
If you lead
I will follow..
..But instead I'm left for dead..
.. Left screaming.
And you'll never hear me..
You'll never save me.
Sometimes I've wished I'd never let you inside,
You've butchered all the tiny parts,
The massacre of my heart..
So tell me, my dear, when you go in for the kill
Will you stab me in adoration
Or your hate for me?


(grr..really unhappy with the way it ended up.... I may need to "improve" it a bit.. .. in the meantime, enjoy!)
