From the pen of



CHOKE



It is such a strange story
Things have to this pass come
The more you try to kill me
The more I want to die

Starts with a blue-eyed boy
Thought he'd found love true
'Tis the heart now that's blue
Red is the color of the eye

I yearn for moments of loneliness
So I can writhe in the bliss of pain
This hurt, my tears, still be my gain
I know, in you lies their provenance.

I smell you in the morning breeze
Wake up with you by my bedside
Your zest with all my actions dyed
I move with you, with you I freeze.

Apathy's forever the wage of love
And agony breeds more agony.
The heart they choke in symphony
A hope stubborn, a brusque shove.

The irony of love strikes so fine
I have lost all, yet I get to keep
My love that all belongs to thee
And all your pain that is mine
