Soon

It's always like this, so let's not question

We play this game
always
moving left
dodging right

No matter the words
whispered beforehand
we start this
malicious and meaningless

Always it ends with a little bloodshed
though never worry
I'll clean our messes
obedient as our relationship is
so let's not stop this
anytime soon
