Entombed

Parting is such sweet sorrow,

When love's air is still there,

But when the flame flickers out,

And the wax dries,

Love is sealed;

 

 

There is no air.

Until the stamp,

Is peeled.

 

 

Love's lepers are we,

Who pick at the wound,

And bleed out life's blood,

Until, we too,

Are Entombed.
