"How to Kill"

-

How do you kill a human being

Well darling I should ask you

Because you're killing me slowly

-

First you destroy their heart

With your lying 'I love you's

Until their heart is bleeding your name

Attack their brain

Contaminate every thought they have

Until everything they see is just a reminder of you

-

Drown them in the oceans of tears they cried

Every goddamn night over you

Cover their body in microscopic paper cuts

From the lovesick poems piled on their desk

Tell them you love them and make them high on hope

Then snatch it away like an empty oxygen tank

How do you kill a human being

You make them fall in love with you
