Kiss of Death

Rip my heart open and tear me apart,
With salted tears scalding deep red blood.
Slouching at a corner, helpless and alone,
Clutching shattered shreds of our once fragile love.

Young and foolish, so naive,
To have trusted that you would never leave.
Your convincing lies, I had undoubtlessly believed,
Till sunrise dawned on Christmas Eve

Stark naked and solitude in a cheap hotel room,
Pouring my heart out, denying the blunt truth.
Yesterday's virgin, our stained sheets mocked and jest,
All in all, I was just another dirty conquest.

Unopened letters and unanswered calls,
My voice messages, you deleted them all.
The phone operator's voice, it drove me up the wall,
While you vanished from the face of the earth by nightfall.

Now I'm down on my knees,
Requesting for a final wish.
All I ask for,Is one last kiss.
