Bury me with you Lie me beside you as we die Take me with you Take out my heart, put it where we lie Take out my brain Let all the memories wash over again And let us forget and keep what we have And keep on going till we fall over I’ll see you again I’ll see you again You make me weak My heart trembles as we speak You make me quiver But I’ll give you heaven if that’s what you seek If you’re not comfortable in that tiny creek I’ll give you a river I’ll give you a river And you own the voice that wants to keep me awake And you own the hands that make me lose my way Kill me again and again put my blood on your hand 2002

morbid in intent.why are you begging to die by his-her hand?

maybe it's not so much death i'm talking about as a deconstruction. what does death truly signify? in a Shivic way, a new beginning. the lush, real emotions and powers of an overwhelming love, making someone so weak and numb with joy and relinqueshment of breath because and for this joy.

it also creates the perfect intimate connection. sort of like a fight club theory, that shedding someone else's blood is the ultimate connection to someone else. there is ownage.

life is so limited, bound... we are stuck here suspended in universal laws of gravity, inertia, our brain capacity, the extent of our motion and expression is limited to what a human can do (which in all actuality is extremely limited), death provides this limitless, boundless freedom.

you can take any meaning, they all aren't 100% correct, the meaning lies within the feeling i get. not what anyone else can logically understand and probably not what it makes other people feel. i wrote it long enough ago that i forgot why i used each word, although in the writing process i am very selective and choose according to necessity. what it does for me now is hold within itself a point in time,capturing a feeling, an essence, a moment. so is it really morbid? morbid by your standards, perhaps? i never saw it as morbid or dark.
