I know what it’s like when a soul dies For a Sunday night surprise tainted my pair of heart eyes On my bed sprawled a man and sweet Clementine She met his lips with ones that were formerly known as mine In shock, I hastily began a procedure vaguely resembling a seizure My mind’s eye saw how I was confused and misused So quickly came the chill, putting the warm parts of my heart to disuse A darker side of psyche was ruefully deployed I turned empty, a void, bona fide schizoid My fingers now around their throats, I became Death’s harbinger Love-borne vengeance made corporeal, a cheater’s swan singer I caught their eyes with mine, bloodred from scornful blame Turns out souls and bones break quite the same

Clementine's Reckoning
I know what it’s like when a soul dies For a Sunday night surprise tainted my pair of heart eyes On my bed sprawled a man and sweet Clementine She met his lips with ones that were formerly known as mine In shock, I hastily began a procedure vaguely resembling a seizure My mind’s eye saw how I was confused and misused So quickly came the chill, putting the warm parts of my heart to disuse A darker side of psyche was ruefully deployed I turned empty, a void, bona fide schizoid My fingers now around their throats, I became Death’s harbinger Love-borne vengeance made corporeal, a cheater’s swan singer I caught their eyes with mine, bloodred from scornful blame Turns out souls and bones break quite the same
