Death Becomes You

Hot as hell with hearts cold as ice,
we dance around the argument with words so nice.
The shots ring out, the losers fall.
And I stop pretending you mean nothing at all.
No retribution, stolen sacrifice;
Forget about me, your unspoken advice.
Coffee splashes my tongue to keep me awake,
Away from dreams of me and you, your biggest mistake.
And while the hidden tears release, hot and sharp on my cheeks like a knife,
I know now that I told the truth when I said I would ruin your life.
