What does the cat purr in your ear?


 
 
Convulsions Of Passion

 

 

We roamed the streets of the world,

We roamed the map of our meat and bones,

Pressing my face against the windshield,

Right now I’m watching our past,

When I was still alive,

When you pulled up in this place,

Also  unlike tonight,

We pressed together our bodies,

Whether one is a saint or a serial killer,

The bravest coward or the most believable crook,

All  will grow year after year in the same soil,

All thoughts and dreams will be gone,

You used your coldest,

Your most successful,  

Your most beautiful hook,

You asked me daintily ‘Kill me’,

You believed any moment was perfect to die,

When you are young and successful,

When your biggest achievement,

Your sublimest  invention,

Was a gallant design,

A twee and  detailed  manuscript,

How to love and to kill any attractive woman,

I was your longest line,

You sculptured the sickest lie,

It had a warped appetite for destruction,

You directed the best way to die,

You didn’t want to be killed by a victim,

A victim sees you through animal holes,

A pair of beady eyes,

Overflowing with aggression,

No one bets on a victim,

No one trusts a victim,

Everyone bets on a player,

You wanted to fall by the hand of a woman,

Whom you worshipped and loved,

More than your life,

For the first time you wanted to know,

How it felt,

When you were unwilling to hurt in response,

Someone who killed you to throw,

Your yesterday in the dirt,

How could I know?

The last moment the tell-tale scenario changed,

I was the one to be killed,

I lost my throne,

I fell royally by your hand,

So,

Hovering over me,

You were afraid of my blood,

Staining and starring your animal jacket,

You irrational fear was strange and absurd,

You’d been already covered  in it,

The moment I got in your car,

Don’t you remember how it smelt?

My torturer,

And my warning,

You warned me,

‘It tries to bring us together,

Let’s try to stay apart’,

I didn’t listen,

I made a joke,

‘Don’t be afraid,

I promise,

You’ll love the way I bite’.
