[tell me again]
 
Tell me again
of her...
the thief

Tell me again
of her beauty
her charms
her sensuality

Tell me again
how she
makes you feel
like
a powerful god...
an adonis

Tell me again
as I nod
through gritted teeth
clenched fist
 
Tell me again
as the half-moon
crescents
newly dug
within my palms
grow ever more
livid
enraged

Tell me again
as I gaze
within the mirror
within myself
and see
all of this
the same
inside myself

Tell me again
while I wonder
what's wrong
with your eyes
your heart
that you cannot
see
that which is
so obvious
to me

Tell me again
as I smile
and slowly
die
a little more
inside
