She looks at me with hatred in her eyes
And I want to weep.
He eyes rake up and down,
Taking in every imperfect inch.
When she speaks, it's with scorn.
I want her to love me.
I want her to smile.
But she won't, and now I'm angry.
She snarls vicious insults at me.
Her eyes burn with accusation.
We fight again.
The knife in my hand is stained
With her blood. Always the same
Weapon, the same hatred.
I love to see her bleed.
There's poetry in it, and pleasure.
She moans as crimson life seeps away
And now, satisfaction.
The blood, bright red, runs over
The dark brown stains
Of our last battle.
Our eyes meet.
There's sadness there,
And the knowledge that,
One day,
We may well kill each other.
I turn away
And try to sleep.
