I leave you wounded
as the blue night washes over your skin
your pale face marked with a grim
but satisfied grin

I leave you wounded
and trace the lines on your naked spine
it’s facing me, then fades into
the red of your sheets

I leave you wounded
outside resounds a maddening song
I’m balancing on the edge of the bed
and of a nightmare

I leave you wounded
collapsed in red
while I slowly caress all that’s left

I leave you wounded
I leave you writhing and squirming
your soft lips still bleeding with fervour

I leave you wounded
collapsed in red
with your bare limbs scattered around the bed

I leave you wounded
I leave you writhing and squirming
like vermin on the verge of extinction

there is blood everywhere I look

I leave you wounded
collapsed in red
with your bare limbs scattered around the bed

I leave you wounded
I leave you writhing and squirming
like vermin on the verge of extinction

there is blood everywhere I look

I wash my hands in innocence
I wash my hands in diligence

I walk out clean
get back to work
I do not stir
get back to work
