whisper in my ear,
my sweet,
the time to die is here
let us clasp our fingers,
tight, and look at ourselves
in each other's eyes
may the fire run over us like a cloud,
(hair singeing, flesh charring)
a sweet taste on the tip of our tongues
as the smoke fills our lungs till
there's no air to breathe, and all
our words are choked by destiny
i'll whisper then, in your ear
my sweet,
the time to die is here.
