You let your life lapse to marry her
You chose her sapping heavy halitosis
You chose her sapping heavy halitosis
Her mange matted bedhead bedraggled
Her dank drool flecked jaws and snarls
You always knew her better than anyone
You gave her free reign of your dominion
She chewed your brain marrow just toying
She pissed slowly on your best bed linen
You didn't care what other people thought
You just embraced her lice ridden ribcage
I'd liked to have seen her 2 weeks after death
I'd have smiled to watch maggot infestation
I'd have smiled to watch maggot infestation
She'd have been bloated in blackened heckles
She'd have had empty crow pecked sockets
She'd have had empty crow pecked sockets
I'd have lied to say the black dog never died
I'd have held your head in my lap as you cried
I'd have held your head in my lap as you cried
