Happy New Year, Darling (Senryu)

Happy New Year, Darling (Senryu)
take me in your arms
midnight is moments away
happy new year, sweet
this year has so sucked
with no one to blame but you
kiss me at midnight
how is your champagne?
darling, your glass is quite low
may i pour you more?
you son of a bitch,
drink up; i know you cannot
taste what i added
listen, my dearest
the clock counts down to midnight
hold me close to you
put your lips to mine
what’s that? hard to draw a breath?
you should just lie down
soon the end will come
the new year looks great from here
close your eyes, asshole
what? i can’t hear you
sweetheart, don’t push yourself so
you need to relax
midnight at last, you 
have failed to kiss me again,
because you are dead
