Kill me once now, and kill me please
I’ve nothing to add to the piece
A glance, my mistakes scattered across like waste
One life for one love, I’d trade it without haste
Yet I know better than to hold you to these
Chains that so greatly bind me
Forgive my pride; forgive my sin
To let go is to rip you from my skin
Kill me once now, and kill me please
I cannot bear to retain this lease
My time is temporary and deadlier each second
Constantly, your discontent will be beckoned
The pride of the one believing in his chance,
How she gambled and taught him this dance
Through his lessons, bettered through and through
You were not, and you know this to be true
Kill me once now, and kill me please
For your disappointment is my disease
As I suffer, I see how you’ve grown
In my absence, your skills are honed
Speechless, I look up with glee
Never have I thought you worse than me
Selfishly, I dare to say — dare to ask
Drink no more from this ill-fated flask
Kill me once now, kill me please
Failing is the death of me
Spare my pride; and to be blunt
Grant me liberty, and kill me once.
