I live for a little death

the kind that flicker and lose the fight

I live for shallow breathes

the kind that cough, bloody loss

i live for nothing less

less than zero, second best

I love a bloody mess

so rip it out, rip it out

i live in love’s nest

i try my best, I need a rest

I failed at life’s tests

to the flame, a burning shame

my love is the rain

coming down, coming down

I love all the pain

love is war, anti war

my little death

shallow and breathless / sallow but deathless

you were my best death,

war, anti war
