Anticipation

each day brings you closer
I await your warm embrace
and feel your jagged fingers
rip deep into my face

my blood now free and running
you slide down to my throat
surrounded by the flooding
you steal away my hope

yes you found me waiting
finally we get to dance
each second finds me fading
this is my final chance

I reach my hand out to you
and offer you up my life
and feel your cold reception
as I fall upon the knife
