You’ve killed me a thousand times <br />A thousand times forgotten <br />Against me done a thousand crimes <br />I’ve been a thousand corpses rotten <br /> <br />You’ve given me a thousand deaths <br />And never once remembered <br />I’ve taken a thousand final breaths <br />Been one thousand times dismembered <br /> <br />Once you stabbed me with a knife <br />Directly in my heart <br />Once you used that very knife <br />And cut me all apart <br />Once you took an ancient sword <br />And with it took my head <br />Once you took a power chord <br />And choked me until I was dead <br /> <br />A thousand times you’ve buried me <br />A thousand times forgotten <br />A thousand times came to see <br />If yet my corpse had rotten<br /><br />Tim Vallie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-thousand-times-you-ve-been-my-death/
