"Slut," said I, "You thing of evil!--
Slut still through my heart's disheveled--
By the heaven that flees from us--
by the God we both ignore--
You betrayed a soul love-laden,
your sick and sad libido, craven,
It shall clasp me 'round the throat
and burn my heart for months or more;
Clasping words within my throat,
thought my forgiveness you implore."
Pointing towards her, "Nevermore!"
"Be that word our sign of parting,
two-faced whore!" I roared upstarting--
"Get thee back into thine tempest
and to where you came before!
Leave no bullshit as a token
of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!
Rotten, stinking, selfish whore!
Take thy thorn out from my heart,
and take thy form from my eyesore--
I shall trust you nevermore!"
And the crow, though never speaking,
stood there weeping, stood there weeping
With her lover dead and bleeding
at our feet upon the floor;
And her eyes held all the sorrow,
visions of the lost tomorrows;
And the lamplight o'er him streaming
throws his shadow on the floor,
And my soul from out that shadow,
that trusts love not anymore
May be lifted nevermore.
