The first words I spoke to you
Were words of love and hate.
Love to hate you, hate to love you.
Hold me, hug me - suffocate.

You are monstrous, vile, hideous,
Repulsive to my all-seeing eyes.
Dragging your acid-red coffin,
Spewing your murderous cries.

I watch as you creep towards me,
As you slither, slither on by.
Blood pours through my soul
When you uncoil by my side in a death-cry.

"I love you," I scream, "I love you."
Does that pierce your emotion-proof shell?
And when you throw me into that pit,
I swear I shall put you through hell.

You forced me into this murderous deed
And you laugh laugh laugh when I cry.
Come closer, snake, come closer now
Watch watch our baby die.
