'THE SUN ALSO RISES', 1982
ONLY DARKNESS
Only darkness, Lady Brett.
Your fate is sealed, the scene is set.
This knife I hold shall surely be
The blade to send you to eternity.
You thought somehow I merely joked,
Saying I killed now only when provoked.
You called me fake, and ageing lecher too
When I said I wanted only you.
You subjected me to public humiliation
Which is quite beyond my toleration.
I am precisely what I said I am;
It was no joke, it was no sham.
My hand on your mouth to stop your screams;
See how bright my stiletto blade gleams!
At last you know I do not lie -
There is no easy way to die ...
Ah! Pain! I look down to my chest
And see a sword thrust through my breast!
It is I, not you, who face eternity;
There is no future left for me ...
Only darkness.
