The heart has died a time or two Yet, the courage still remains A new narrative A fiction rooted in truths In a world in flames With a villain called Love As the story goes The sun loved the moon As the waves kiss the shore And the hero is death Pitted to lose For love and life are but the great devils Descended the gods from the heavens For in our back story we were lovers Chasing inspiration Weaving the old into the new Treating the pestilence With simple kisses Consumed by hope Seeing something that isn't there Careful not to bite We don't forget, what is always there And sometimes it's so unreal There will always be some mornings that we will forget where we are and we'll reach for one another across the endless scapes of the mattress we call home
