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
