Scratches On My Gravestone

| Lovesickness |

A whisper of love froze in my ear

It settled there, melted there,

Trickled its way out of there,

Found my heart to taint it,

To stain it with poison

My heart beat, "One, two," three times too soon

Too soon, too fast, too much - I can't

It hurts to feel you lie to me

And plant more seeds of jealousy

Inside my heart, inside my head

No, stop! Enough! I'm going to bed

Or, so I said. Or, so I said

I toss and turn and burn instead

My blood is heavy, my breath is cold

My skin, suddenly turning old

My body cries black tears of "bitter"

Bittersweet, bitter burn, bitter stream,

Stream down, burning, burning, burning

Everything they touch, everything they stain

Leaking false love, poisoned rain

No antidote for this poison

Fills my lungs, sets my thoughts on fire

I can't breathe, I'm suffocating

My voice, my scream evaporating

And, I can't - Oh, God!

Feel my soul disintegrating

I'm dying, I'm begging, I'm crying, "Please"

This hurt, this pain, this ache, this stain,

This poison, and now this whisper of death

These lies of love have taken my breath
