ALERT… This is a very dark, haunting piece. …ALERT!

Do you think
you’re not still my slave
since digging yourself from that earthen grave
since you sullied your delicate hands
clawing up and out of my bottom lands
do you think you’re safe
think perhaps that I don’t know
where you are as you come and go
do you think that I don’t feel you
with my every breath
that I don’t breathe you
really – don’t you
do you think at all
my love
anytime I want you
you are mine
anytime…
…well now
look who’s finally awake
quite a long nap you chose to take
…what love, where are you?
…surprise…
you are here where you belong
with me — my love
you like your leathers
I hope you do
I picked them out love
just for you
you know I love you
you love me too
we have a love uncommon
you know we do
don’t you
you are mine
it’s true
forever
your every move is known to me
your every thought is mine to see
every fear
mine to trigger
and every fear is growing bigger
I am the ghost
haunting your lair
I am your uttermost secret terror
you will not know
whence I may come
I am the shadow you are running from
the stranger hidden across the street
the sudden sound that startles you
from deep in sleep
so cling mindlessly to your false hope
as ‘round your slender neck
I slip my rope
…my love — I’m so, so sorry…
you think I’m mad
well that may be
but that’s too bad
for you
not me
you pray they catch me
we’ll see
won’t we
your nightmare is I’ll not be caught
your dream’s come true
for I will naught
you hope I make a big mistake
dare a close call
risk my downfall
you sense your time is short
the hour is late
you feel the weight
the grip of fate
you think you might escape
get away
run free
…my love — I’m so, so sorry…
but that will never be
there is no such risk for me
for I am brilliant
wicked cunning
you’ve felt my power
is it not stunning
does my magnificence make you afraid
knowing ‘cross your neck
I may slide my blade
as I’m creeping quiet from behind
to steal your life
as I am so inclined
as terror shivers
up and down your spine
remember always
you — are — mine
forever mine
til the day you die
and this is that day
so — m’love…
…goodbye
