YOUR HALO - MY NOOSE

Your halo, my noose
Sinking in the shallow end
Uncomfortably comforting
There is an aching in the heart
Where the pulse bleeds, where it begins
You take and you take and you take from me
Hold me close if only from a distance
You can take my soul
But please leave my body alone
I have secretly engraved
My own tombstone
