If you're going to kill me tonight, <br />do it slowly. <br /> <br />I promise you won't need to bind me. <br />I won't move. <br /> <br />If you choose a blade, let it be sharp <br />but make your cuts shallow. <br /> <br />I want to feel the warmth of my blood on my skin. <br /> <br />I promise you wont need to gag me. <br />I won't scream. I'll close my eyes <br />and bite through my lip. <br /> <br />If you're going to kill me tonight, <br />let me feel my life slip away. <br /> <br />As my breath slows, as the end nears, kiss <br />me gently on my forehead. I love you.<br /><br />John Kipling Lewis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-re-going-to-kill-me-tonight/
