Strange Suicide

For Maggie Kravat and ZimZum Angel (written on September 14, 1997)


Your eyes are my death
Your heart beats my last breath
The serpent calls my name
At last the rage is tamed
Your blood runs through my veins
You smile when it rains
You are the strangest suicide
Always run, but never hide
You never tried, you never tried
Your face steals my soul
Where my heart was; a hole
You scream for me above
I'll have Gabriel send my love
Your heart in my chest
So now we can rest
You are the strangest suicide
Always run but never hide
You never tried, you never tried
In my memories, you live
There's so much you won't give
Your face in my mind
It's the pain that binds
Your eyes are my death
Your heart beats my last breath
Of all the tears I've cried,
You are the strangest suicide
Always run, never hide
You never tried, you never tried

"And so my pain dies away."
~Maggie's last words
