Want To Be Friends With The Villains
Want to
Be friends with the villains
Lean on the hunter's chilly chest
Appreciate the gentle moonlight
Reflected off of the lethal bayonet
Want to
Be friends with the villains
Caress the deceiver's vibrating throat
Listen to the most euphonious syllables
Exchange the sweetest lies
If they suddenly regret
I will tip my toes on the edge of the cliff
Take their shaking hands
And dance a round of waltz in allegro vivace
If they confess their sins
I will bathe and burn incense before dawn
Read a faithful prayer
With a heinous voice
If they manifest their instincts
I will unravel my safety harness
Jump into the elaborately woven trap
And write each other's bottomless future
Look,
I have tried so hard;
and yet,
they are leaving.
