The Ending

There is a point that I should address
As you begin to undress
As I feel your caress
I feel I'm only making a mess

I am suffocating on bitterness
My lungs take in air less and less
My answer is no longer yes
This is goodbye forever, I must confess

The singing bird has left the nest
I lost all my interest
Because I'm a starving vampiress
And you've no blood left
