- Surrender
-
- I am finished, my love.
- You can cut me, chop me,
- Turn me over, flip me inside
out,
- Mold me into the image of your
whims!
- Or, rather, I can cut myself
- with a machete, like a man,
- ought to do for his lady.
-
- I will cut my hair, wear a suit
- and tie, go out and bring home
the bacon.
- I will utter lies, hide my
fears
- of refined culture from your
educated friends.
- Yes, darling, for you, I even
burn the dirty books
- I made love to during lonely
evenings
- Conversing with the deranged
Celine.
-
- It is all for you.
- I am finished, and you have
won.
- It is all up to you from now
on.
