In the darkest corner of the house
I found her body there
cold and stiff
spine in a twist
she left a note
My Dearest one
heres what you've done
Ive got your knife inside my back
Ive got your rope around my neck
I feel the poison in my veins
corrode and eat away my brains
Ive told you fifteen dozen times.
And thats one hundred-eighty times
If I cant have you
then no one can.
She was an honest girl (Never told a lie.)
Raised with the finest things (Far too rich to die.)
A silver spoon
Gold diamond rings
And her sainted mother
the benefactor
of the inheritance that i was after
shes got a feeling that ill get even and
if i cant have you
then no one can.
