cut your legs off
just below the knees
i cut mine off
right at the throat
if for a moment
you weren't begging me
to drop that knife
and just let go

i keep my scissors
in the junk drawer
and a pair of yours
stuck in my neck
between the blades
you'll find the jugular
cut in line
or stay in check

i can't live without you
i can't breathe another breath
this air is much too thick
without your carbon dioxide

i can't grieve without you
can't let it lie
can't let it rest
i'd rather suffocate us both
in our carbon dioxide

seal the windows
in my bedroom
when i'm done
i'll seal the door
i bought the duct tape,
chalk and bisquee
a scribbled letter
explains what for

i ate half the stricknine
and sleeping pills
prisim colors
and a stomache ache
i left the other half
in the kicthen
for you on a
chinese dinner plate

with a note that reads
if you ever loved me
and continute now
don't wait
follow my example
don't hesitate

i can't fuck without you
i still smell of dirty sex
make me lying dead
beneath our carbon dioxide
i can't forget about you
all i can feel is this regret
i've got my grave decisions
and my carbon dioxide
