The moon shone on your pale face,
Wind fed on your open wounds
And I swear to you that I
Have no idea how they happened

But I hold the knife so tightly
You’re blood must have
Levitated to it because
I swear to you that I
Never plunged it into your chest

Your eyes are dimming slowly
Like a candle in the breeze
They’re looking right at me
Tell me, Honey, why stare at me?
I did nothing wrong…

Straddling your waist I
Watch the dust blow upon
Your motionless cheeks
Jaw dropped, I wonder
Why you were so shocked, because
I swear to you that I
Am not usually one to surprise

Too tired to dial 911
They’ll find you, I am sure
I wash my hands and my shirt
Not that I need to because
I swear to you that I
Am as innocent as a dove

The coffin is dropped at an
Agonizingly slow rate
One day we’ll meet in heaven
And we’ll do small talk

”Darling, how was your funeral?”

An icy glare will grow wings
And fly its cold way to me
Don’t give me that look because
You swore to me that you
Would love me no matter what
