You ask me what's wrong
because you know me
so well.
Privately right now
I reside in a place
called Hell.
We just made love
while the shadows
were lurking on the wall.
Something is telling me
to do this
and not to stall.
Now if I could only stay with you
and sleep through
the morning light
our bed would remain warm
caressed
by a dreamer's delight.
I need to kiss you once more
from your head
to your toe.
Surely this is the time
I must let
my feelings show
but redemption
is the push
and the shove
which will ultimately
sacrifice
our noble love.
I'd be free from my mistakes
in this struggle
to support you
with a lifelong addiction
that most criminals know
is ovedue.
So if it's the last moment we share
before
the end of the line
don't you ever forget
this love
of mine.
For I am the armed robber of a bank
which resulted
in a deadly sin
and tomorrow I plan
to turn myself
in.
