the coward i am

The Coward I Am.
_____________
If I could
cut This Love
for you Out
of Me I Would...

but like all
Cancers it
only festers..

rotting away
the heart with
painful pleasure
that makes death
a mercy which
never comes.
_

With you..
My heart is
A Dangerous
Drum beating
in my Throat
and threatening
to kill me with
each pulse,
stopping my
breath...

Without you?
The nights
are Bleak..
and every
morning
smells like
Suicide...

(though the
coward
I am fears
Love even
more than
Death.)
