Love is A Cemetery

From the ashes of passion Blackened love old fashioned Turned into broken brittle bones Where red fleshed hearts roamed once The kisses only now from white wind Remiss to fall into fairytale again Only to be brutally beaten by reality Frail fingers claw digging at loss Loss of a thorny rose in heart Shining once but now so dark Melodic still singing screaming Painting frustrated art dreaming Embracing ebony eyes of demise Onyx soul slides into the night Like a firefly into a flower bed Graveyard saves bones instead Cemetery buried disappointments Where love sins go to end and lament
