Love You To Death

I've told you I love you, she says to her prey,
And now I will prove it, we'll do it my way.
Don't you be scared, now: it won't do no good,
Just try to be quiet, as all victims should.

She picks up the eye mask, and covers his eyes,
She then takes the handcuffs, and with them she tries
To stop him from moving, at which she succeeds,
Before screaming at him, get down on your knees.

At which, he obeys her, and drops to the floor,
She leaves for a second, to lock up the door.
He listens out for her, and soon she is back
He hears her approaching, and then feels a SMACK!

The pain of her hand's palm is fresh on his face,
The room swims around him: God, where is this place?!
He gets to his feet and falls onto the bed,
The broomstick's hard handle connects with his head.

Babe, what are you doing? he asks in a daze,
You're acting insane, now: you've got in a craze.
This isn't the way that a bird shows her love.
He tries to sit up but she gives him a shove.

Sit down, or I'll kill you! she screams to the man,
She grabs up his throat and squeezes with her hands
You're not going to lie, now; you'll tell me the truth,
I'd just like to ask you... so, babe: who is Ruth?

I told you I'd listen, so what do you say?
Why are you so silent? For this, you will pay...
I will make you suffer: you've treated me bad,
I told you, 'Be faithful', and now I am mad...

She throws his weak body back onto the floor,
She picks up the broomstick: he makes for the door,
He's starting to sob, now: she's beaten him good,
He'll plead for forgiveness, like all lovers should.

Down comes the broomstick! right onto his back,
Connects with his shoulder, producing a CRACK!
He's screams, what'you doing? I've done nothing wrong!
You know that I love you! Remember our song...?

Oh, shut up, you liar! she hurls back at him,
I looked in your wallet! she pulls at his limbs.
Don't act like you're sorry, I know that you're not.
So, what's it about her that I haven't got??

You've got it all wrong! I love you: it's true!
Why don't you believe me? You know that it's you
That I love: no one else could ever compare!
A love like I'm feeling is so very rare!

I cannot believe you! she cried at the beast,
I cannot forgive you, but know this at least:
I'll never stop loving, I'll never not care.
You know that forever I'd always be there.

But now that betrayal has ruined it all,
You do have to die, now: I'm sorry, dear Paul.
She bends down, and reaches far under the bed,
And brings out a wood-axe, it has to be said

The axe is a big one, and in her love's eyes,
The girl sees a fear so intense that she cries.
But, no time to forgive and no time to forget,
She raises the axe up: her gaze is dead set.

He screams out in shock and surprise, and then pain:
She brings the blade downwards again and again.
Crimsony splashes of firey red,
Fly all around her, and then... he is dead.

One hour goes by, and still she stands there,
With a firey red in her firey hair.
And she looks at the form of her only true love.
The one who she’s murdered, in now freezing blood.

And later, a ‘phone call from someone for Paul,
The young lady asks her, is he in at all?
It’s only his sister, she swears that’s the truth,
She asks for a name: the reply? It is Ruth.
