When love died...

ONCE UPON A TIME
DEATH FOUND LOVE
AND IN A MOMENT
IT WAS TRAPPED

IT CHERISHED LOVE
AND NEEDED LOVE
FOR SO MANY THINGS
DEATH LACKED

REALIZING THE LONLINESS
IN LOVE WITH LOVE'S ONLYNESS
IT CRAVED SOME AFFECTION

BUT DEATH WAS POOR
AND COULD DO NO MORE
THAN GIVE A SOUL DIRECTION

IT HAD NOTHING TO OFFER
AND HAD NOTHING TO SAY
YET, DEATH PLEADED
FOR LOVE TO STAY

AND IT DID...
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT
GIVING DEATH A GLIMPSE OF LIGHT

SUDDENLY STRICKEN
LOVE DID DIE
AND IN THAT MOMENT
BREATHLESS
INTRIGUED BY DEATH
AND THE SHADOWS WITHIN
NO LONGER AFRAID AND
RESTLESS

AS THE DAYS PASSED
LOVE BEGAN TO SEE
DEATH WAS A SLAVE
THAT SHOULD BE FREE

LOVE BECAME DEATH
AS THEIR JOURNEYS COLLIDED
AND DEATH HAD LOVE
TO PATIENTLY GUIDE IT

IT TOOK A MILLENIUM TO SHOW
WHAT LOVE AND DEATH DID KNOW

A BOND TOO CLOSE FOR LOVERS
GONE WITHOUT SINS
MOLDED AFTER EACH OTHER
LOVE IS DEATH'S TWIN...
