There are fewer things beautiful than ugly, I know that stars are most bright when they fall from impassioned skies, That when your skin meets mine, I am like an amnesiac being returned a lifetime of memories. I hate few things, except, perhaps, the murky lakes of your eyes, The misty beaches we explored until sunrise. How you pressed your lips to mine like a death wish, that it was deplorable, but we wanted more, more. My body was a map you tore apart when you got tired of exploring it. The ancient psalms of our tongues cannot silence. Ruins of ancient Rome survive on your lips, yet you still live, breathe. You call yourself mortal.

Memento Mori
There are fewer things beautiful than ugly, I know that stars are most bright when they fall from impassioned skies, That when your skin meets mine, I am like an amnesiac being returned a lifetime of memories. I hate few things, except, perhaps, the murky lakes of your eyes, The misty beaches we explored until sunrise. How you pressed your lips to mine like a death wish, that it was deplorable, but we wanted more, more. My body was a map you tore apart when you got tired of exploring it. The ancient psalms of our tongues cannot silence. Ruins of ancient Rome survive on your lips, yet you still live, breathe. You call yourself mortal.
