The static died to a low hum as she crossed the scorched divide The fury in her golden veins pushed suddenly aside She didn't stop to question how he’d braved the holy spear She only knew the silence broke because he now was near Through the ash and bitter smoke, she ran with desperate pace Ignoring all the soot and blood that stained his smiling face She reached him in a flurry, a ghost of what she’d been And pressed her lips against the mouth of that eternal grin The Radio Demon froze in place, his antlers rigid high As green and crimson lightning sparked across the velvet sky A touch of warmth, a human spark, amidst the cold decay The first soft thing she’d felt since all the rest were torn away He didn't pull away this time, nor mock her with a jest His static softened to a beat within his hollow chest In the ruins of their dream, where death had left its mark Two monsters held each other in the gathering of the dark

The Rhythm of a Hollow Chest (the fifth poem in the series)
The static died to a low hum as she crossed the scorched divide The fury in her golden veins pushed suddenly aside She didn't stop to question how he’d braved the holy spear She only knew the silence broke because he now was near Through the ash and bitter smoke, she ran with desperate pace Ignoring all the soot and blood that stained his smiling face She reached him in a flurry, a ghost of what she’d been And pressed her lips against the mouth of that eternal grin The Radio Demon froze in place, his antlers rigid high As green and crimson lightning sparked across the velvet sky A touch of warmth, a human spark, amidst the cold decay The first soft thing she’d felt since all the rest were torn away He didn't pull away this time, nor mock her with a jest His static softened to a beat within his hollow chest In the ruins of their dream, where death had left its mark Two monsters held each other in the gathering of the dark
