Kill you with Kindness

by Cathie Tufnail

I don't want to kill you with kindness
I'd rather use poison instead
Or a gun or a knife would be almost as nice
Just as long as you ended up dead!

No, I don't want to kill you with kindness,
But I might use an axe in your head,
Just as long as it's painful and lasting,
Just as long as it's fatal and red.

So beware when you next see me smiling,
Don't believe that you're safe in your bed
It's a trick of the light
You won't run, you can't fight
In the morning my love, you'll be dead!
