As the sun fell beyond the land,
Two figures waited, hand in hand.

Walking down the line, out of her mind,
Elation afire in the depths of green eyes,
A sardonic smile creasing his lips,
A wicked gentleman waiting for bliss;

Sunlight faded as streetlight bloomed,
They explored the city, just the two.

Love and addiction soaring to new highs,
Like stars ablaze in each other's eyes,
Arms held together, bodies close,
Minds entwined as empathy flowed;

They wandered the city under the cover of dark,
Unafraid of it's depths for it was a paradise lost,
Unready to come out because it held them close,
Feeding their love and caressing their ghosts.
