A goodnight kiss
So gentle and brief
Like the brush of a snowflake
As it touches a leaf.

I loved you then
And i love you now.
Do you still love me?
And if so, how?

I'm the bad one,
The cancer, the rot in your life.
The mother of your children,
The one you call 'wife'

I'm a liar, a gambler,
A thief of laughter.
But you love me still
And forever after.
