---ii---
Day after day,
love turns grey,
like the skin of a dying man.
And night after night,
we pretend it's alright.
But I have grown older,
you have grown colder,
and nothing is very much fun anymore.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
tight as a tourniquet,
dry as a funeral drum.
