I felt them
Clawing
At my heart
Whispering
In my ear

Of a way out
They crawl above my head
Singing songs of revenge
And bloodlust, I listen

But deny them my will
He caresses my heart
With comforts most deadly
“The…”

His breath is warm on my neck
“The Final…”
His hands are cold stone on my shoulders
“The Final Fall!”

He throws me on my back
Apologizing with his tears and bloodied hands
“I’ve tried so hard
So hard to give her The Fall

Just so you could stop falling
So you could have retribution”
I pull him to my chest
His body contracts with sobs for the broken

I whisper in his ear
“I’ll give her
The Fall”
His heart pounds against me as we recite

“I’ll give her
The Final Fall”
My lips are rough against his
Like a blade on skin
