Our hands linked together
in a bitter cage.
I wish when I licked my finger,
you would let me turn the page.
I lament day to day
about the wars that we wage.
Tonight,
I killed you
in a frenzied rage.
Only, when I bit off your finger,
would you turn the page.

would you turn the page.
Thanks for the suggestions. The "your" really adds a lot to the story.

Hi Semi,
I like this one too. I did notice a typo in last part "bit OFF your" and the tenses between licked and would in the first part don't seem to match up. Either change to "lick" or "would have" in the next line. Good job!
