The first time she said it he was laughing in disgust
Now he’s practicing his stuff, she’s been nagging him for months
Mr. Nine Tenths Right hit with anger and curse words
Then one tense night hesitation can hurt worse
And now time’s up for either of the two to walk it off
He cares about her too much for that or maybe not enough
Shovel in the garage ready, tarps and the alibis
Heart beating loud, time starts, he’s about to cry
Stops and now her eyes flash
Whatever happens, don’t give into doubt when I thrash
If you love me then give me what I deserve, love
If you love me you’ll kill me before the world does
Don’t finger-wag at her, she’s not a cyborg
A dozen scars of overexcited men’s incisors
In puberty she passed bad classes thinking of life force
And passing and what people would sass an eye for an eye for
Graduated soon, learned not to say “death fetish”
In private hours she was up researching the best methods
And now she’s laid out with him doing his best menace
Impression, what’s a bad consequence to a wet crevice I’m guessing
She’s curvaceous and pert
He went to check again this morning and the grave’s undisturbed
She’s feeling like her destiny is ordained
No final warnings as a concession to foreplay
No bridal mornings or trimesters or old age
No time for mourning it’s high-pressure her soul aches
A lost hour and she’s nearly crashed into climax
He pulls out a knife wrapped up in plastic a night back
And he stabs her, pleasure soaking in the pain
And she writhes and feels life itself exploding from her veins
And he knows that he’s to blame for the times that he took away
He can’t look her in the eyes but he can’t bear to look away
Then she freezes up in the joy and she knows the gestalt
And she’s absolutely thankful and it’s nobody’s fault
Trade an infinite moment for all her days in the sun
There was a lovers’ communion and once it concluded then they were... one
