Deadly Love

Deadly Love

A Poem by Jessica Lima

My fingers closed around your neck

And you struggled to breathe...

Was it love I saw in your eyes,

As you stared back at me?


Foolish... Foolish girl.

You couldn't make me change!

At least not in time,

To see my heart repent.


You should have told the world

Pain is how I showed my love.

And found yourself a gentler soul,

To give you what I'm incapable of.


But you loved me strong,

And you loved me true.

That, my dear...

Was the death of you.
