Loneliness is the only existence I've known,
before meeting you.
Bathed by the radiance of sunrise we found one another,
discovering love's warmth.
We embrace the solace hidden deep within our hearts.
As perfection is meant to be,
we are destined.
Two kindred spirits set upon a journey of becoming one,
separate individuals seeking the existence of singularity.
Together shall we make life worth living.
Suddenly the weather changed.
Blue skies are consumed by grey.
Right goes wrong.
Did we salvage love only to throw it away?
Perhaps cupid developed a level of inaccuracy, and missed.
His arrows were never intended to find us.
We simply stepped in the way.
Heaven has closed its gates,
the angels turn us away.
Hell beckons,
there shall we find vacancy.
We've come so close,
but couldn't be any further from the truth.
Vast distances now separates,
that which was bonded.
Darkness consumes the illumination of day.
Love sails beyond the horizon.
