Love Kills Slowly

The tender scent
Hangs long after the end
Recall those comforts, the failed attempts

A sigh
The long kiss goodnight
Holding onto what isn't mine

But love, love kills slowly
And it burns with every fading memory
Don't you realize unchained
We have nothing in the end
But love, love kills slowly

Love kills us
Time and time again
Circumcisions to our skin

Your lips
Sent into the eclipse
Through your shadows onto our nebula

But love, love kills slowly
And it burns with every fading memory
Don't you realize unchained
We have nothing in the end
But love, love kills slowly
Love kills silently
Love kills closely
Killed slowly
