Strangely, my name is

I fell so madly in love with you, my Jade skinned Indian love,

Your mer-tail like a jewel, so bright teal

Your long limbs so elegantly placed against my skin, so cold and wet and

Dead

You grabbed my key, ‘round my limp neck

And kissed it with a slimy mouth

I longed to kiss, oh my goodness how I wish I could kiss her now

I had drawn my last breath as my human lover

Threw me into the sea, hard like a stone

But you made me feel like I was breathless when your big brown eyes stared deep, deep

Down into my half-cut head

A light affixed like a blue flame from Heaven your jaws sinking into my throat

Felt like a savage love bite

Were you a vampire or a mermaid

Or a serpent or a dragon

You, Demon-Mellow-Eyes

Captured by the dark side of the moonlight

I was so enhanced by your enthralling beauty

So painful, I felt my soul burn and scream and cry

Strangely, my name is

Death, becomes my nickname

Becomes my spirit

As we collide, colluded

And colored by one

Frightening pale blue, fall colored night

Nightmare that I want to die of

For my love of your soul-sucking eyes

Became my soul-mate

A gothic romance in a very short tomb.
