The King and Queen of Romanticism

Through the masks and obscured within the lies, lays the truth unsaid in which all despise

Too much had been appraised, and much was fitfully un-right, so vastly dark within folded light

He was King, and she forever his Queen, still they hold each others hands, a thrilling vice in which they teamed

Their faces lit with withering sight, flightless eyes instead of cocky fulfilled and streaming plight

They tangoed to flooded phantom operas and darkly lit scenes, set with bloodset roses and heartfelt keys

Bowing inside the night they longfully romanced, ballerined on fruitless olden toes that would soon become cramped

Whispering together, they flee against the mournless sounds, that crept and prowled outside the bounds'

Deciding a long time ago to dance their lives away, to live within the fleeting joy and feel their heartbeats sway

I'd like to know how it feels to be like this. To give my cares away and dance 'til I die.
