Continue to lie to him And to lie with me For it is love not lust which is so bittersweet By and by come You who would allow My poison to condemn everything you shall ever love Then you and I can prostrate upon The altar you hold so dear and that I know so well At least for a moment I will then trudge in to the horizon scorned by the sun Leaving you in solidarity So like the others I can be catalogued— Stocked upon your shelf a token Your conquered warrior king Victim to your feral grin and unbound locks Now fodder for your written emotions For every night you close your eyes You will remember the night where Our chests heaved in synchronicity And your cries were silenced By the beating of your heart There I will become the best piece of literature you will ever write And you will become my most beloved sin
