"Till death do us part," Red lips behind a cereal spoon Blue eyes and pupils like dimes The moon is her spotlight Glinting off of pale hair "Till death do us part," Layers upon layers of clothing You always felt too skinny You painted a skeleton And called it 'self portrait' "Till death do us part," She was starved for sunlight on the hottest days You let her stretch in the rays As you wilted comfortably in the shade And Frances skipped from dark to light, keeping the equilibrium that you couldn't give her "Till death do us part," The greenhouse above the garage Where you swallowed your final breaths A lethal dose of ****** coursing through your veins And a bullet in your skull Did she laugh as you fell apart? It's better to burn out Than to fade away

Wedding of the ******
"Till death do us part," Red lips behind a cereal spoon Blue eyes and pupils like dimes The moon is her spotlight Glinting off of pale hair "Till death do us part," Layers upon layers of clothing You always felt too skinny You painted a skeleton And called it 'self portrait' "Till death do us part," She was starved for sunlight on the hottest days You let her stretch in the rays As you wilted comfortably in the shade And Frances skipped from dark to light, keeping the equilibrium that you couldn't give her "Till death do us part," The greenhouse above the garage Where you swallowed your final breaths A lethal dose of ****** coursing through your veins And a bullet in your skull Did she laugh as you fell apart? It's better to burn out Than to fade away
