I do not always have the most original approach,
It's not like there have not been others here before,
Star Crossed Lovers:- A tale of the African Romeo and Juliet,
The end of each other is what we would be,
What you think is an prayer answered,
Turns out to be this tragic love story;

I need not take time with this thought,
Or go back to the beginning before cupid took that **** shot,
And how we tried effortlessly to outrun his arrow,
Yet directionless you stumbled on my smile,
And mindlessly I fell into your hello,
That for us was the beginning of the end..

Suddenly there was clarity in your mind,
As if before that moment you had had no other thoughts,
Suddenly there was serenity in my heart,
As if before that moment I had felt no other feelings,
Opening ourselves up to each other like a pair virgins for the first time,
Watching this film of love unfold right before our eyes.    

We know that here we will always stay,
Forgetting any other home other than this,
Here in each others arms,
Watching the stars burn through the ******* sky,
Like two junkies with needles in our arms,
Feeding each other this poisonous drug,

This portion they call love, give me just a little bit more
You hold the torch and I hold the lighter,
If they try to come closer then let's set this castle on fire,
And after that, if there is still no place for us on this earth,
Then let this poison run through our veins,
Let this toxic love lead us to our graves.
