Loveslaughter

 All the love that here once was

Even after it comes to fade

Shall forever remain

Unharmed and strong

In the slices and dices

Of our time and space

When and where it took place

It was embodied 

In that bundle of warmth

Inside your heart and within your arms

The sound of your sight

In the sight of my eyes

It was reflected

In that smell of cheese from the kitchen

As a dying-Sunday desperation

Would slowly take over

It was carved in the annoying shape

Of every lazy morning

Bathing in endless good-mornings

It was everywhere

Pervasive and sharp

I could see and hear it

I could smell, taste, and touch it

So I wonder, where was such love

When I planted fabricated evidence

To frame myself for crimes 

That I never committed? 

And where did it go every time

That I pretended to look back

Even though my heart 

Had been already for a long time

Fully rooted in our living room?

Where the hell was its whereabouts

When I petrified our flowers

And threw them at us like rocks?

Was it madness or simply stupidity?

Was it lovemurder or just loveslaughter?

Dripping and peeling

Instant by instant

This tap keeps on dripping

And as it slowly empties my heart

 It fills up a bowl of hate

Meanwhile, in synch with each drop

I peel off chunks of my skin

Pulling it recklessly dry

Detaching from the flesh

Because despite the agony 

Of such gruesome procedure

I rather reduce myself

Into a piece of raw bare meat

Than keeping any of these cells

Once fed and regulated 

By a putrefying deceit
