Lanaia Lee's "A Drink To The Death"
© 2004 by Lanaia Lee
I hope I look really special to you tonight
As I have planned something really special for you
Our future together looked very bright
As you told me your love for me was true.

I haven even taken the time to cook you a very special meal
Wanting to show my appreciation of your love for me
I want to show you exactly how you make me feel
To show you our love for each other was meant to be.

I finally hear an anticipated knock on my door
I open the door, you walk in,lean over and kiss me
To feel love for you is not a hard chore
No one else will ever have  you, see.

Everything about this night has to be precise
So you have no idea about the surprise I have in store for you
I even have a chilled bottle of champagne which I use to entice
I pour you a drink, very carefully dropping the arsenic in,
this will make your minutes very few.

We say cheers, take a drink, then you fall to the floor
Looking at me wide eyed and gasping for breath you ask why
Seeing you in the arms of another I felt rage like never before
Remember I said" No one else would ever have you" then I watch you die.
