Dead Love Lasts (Jack & Sally)

Nightmare Before Christmas - Jack & Sally Darling; did I tell you? That you make my splintering bones feel As if they had sensitive shocked nerves still. In the frightening night Your stitches have the appearance Of rusting wires impaling coarse ice skin. If we wander Through the lively graveyard The night still doesn’t illuminate The death of anyone as elegantly As it does you. Your hollow eyes Make my leather skin believe I have live insects shivering underneath. Let me tell you That your rattling rib cage Holds my deceased heart; beating again. Could we find A place in this nightmarish town That doesn’t heighten the dead love That you infect my rotting mind with? Can you believe? Years from now Our legendary love Shall be written amongst the earth. For we are living dead proof That; Love doesn’t end with life
