Overkill
Over and over again
She is soft spoken
Speaking words
That break my heart
My ear is filled
With hot breath
And her succulent tongue
Speaking soft words
she kills me with a kiss
my brain dislodged
my speech incapable
I am dying still
a convulsion away
from giving myself
to the night
over and over
my heart is breaking
my will has died
a coma comes over me
like her soft words
