Death by Love

You cared for me

Gave me peace

Your infatuation with me was quick

My love for you, it sticked...


You crushed me

Said it was proper treatment

Your starry-eyed apathy at the face of my abuse

I guess heroin wasn't the only thing being used...


You said I was sick

That's what you'd snicker

As you placed a kiss on my lips

You are my addiction, one that can't be kicked...


You wired me up

Just like an electrician

Your disinhibition to the violence I faced

My pain is just for your sick kicks...


You made me dirty

But I'll turn myself clean

I'll cope with the trauma by crushing your dreams

My love for you didn't die, it was murdered...
