Killer Valentine

Full moon
Perfect night
Anxiously she awaits
Beneath the dim street light

Checking her watch
Wondering where he was
Hoping the wait
Wouldn't be too long

From behind the wall
He slipped
Through the darkness
He came
Wrapping his hands
Around her throat

Hello Baby
He whispered
Sorry I'm late
Hope you didn't think
I forgot our date

Roses inked
In blood of the freshest kind
He gave to her
With love in mind

Tonight's dinner
Thrown over his shoulder
A foot still hanging out
There would be plenty of leftovers about
She smiled and breathed in
Glad he made it
Dinner first
Then his present
For dessert

Roast leg of former spouse
Glazed in a marrow sauce
Didn't break their heart
To eat that louse
His ex was better off
Without him

Killer winked his eye
Sipping on formaldehyde wine
In all his years
He had never seen
Anything so fine

DeMona stood, feeling his call
Crawling across the table
Baring it all

Stealing his lady
From her wooden perch
Up the stairs
They went

Rolling on to the bed
Firing up the sheets
Brutal love making
Raises the heat

Wiping the sweat
From their brow
Quietly they lay
Thinking to themselves
This was the perfect way
To spend Valentines Day
