Act 2 Scene 1 Poem by brianna arnott

Act 2 (Wearing all your sadness as a fashion)
Scene 1 (Asphyxiate)

(THE LOVER is in the BEDROOM writing in a notebook and reading aloud)

THE LOVER: Let it all fall down on me because i will let you down. And let it all flow into me cause i will bleed you out.

(THE LOVER grabs the pen and scratches out what's been written. Then furiously starts scribbling words. reading aloud.)

THE LOVER: With every word you scream at me, I wonder what to do. You stab this knife into my back as i ashpyxiate on you. The chloroform didn't work before, much to your dismay. As my lungs fill with blood and the lights begin to fade.

(THE LOVER tears the page out of the notebook and crumples it into the wastebasket.)
