Afterlife

A scream in the moonlight echoes through the trees  

Emotions wash over me as we’re trapped in the dark 

I’ve memorized your smile a mysterious ocean a warm sun 

I’ve loved you for infinity our fingers intertwined 

A kiss soft as a feather I believe we’re breathtakingly perfect 

Our lives redeemed our souls illuminating the trees  

Our new life awaits us as the ink blue sky darkens 

As the rebellion paints sadness in the moonlit night 

Danger motionless beneath us, a simple rose for each 

To remind us of the little beauty we have left 

The murmurs of forgotten souls linger in the air 

Our fears diminish as we leave the world we once called home 

Walking into the vast unknown to experience the afterlife
