1.

I wander through the night,

Holding close

The soul

Of a love once held in flesh,

Now held in spirit alone.

The stars above us,

Weep for my loss.

As the trails of stardust

Ignite,

And the fireflies fill the forest.

The darkness comforts,

Like a blanket,

The fractured heart

and the weary body,

Desperate to crumble.

To fall to dust,

To rot and decay,

So the worms

May peel my skin

And release my soul.

So we may hold each other

Once more.

2.

At the edge of the lake,

Where the fireflies

Dare not follow.

The only light,

That cold,

Uncaring moon.

I sit, and stare,

At the black ink

That shimmers,

Like a void

A pit to the centre

Of nothingness and eternity.

The white light

Clinical and uncaring

Tears at the darkness

To leave me exposed

Isolated

Alone

Forever.

3.

We shall kiss beneath the bodies

Of the hanging.

And dance upon the platform

Of the guillotine.

Free of restraint

And of restriction,

As our bodies turn to cinders,

And the ashes are scattered

Amongst the ruins of their world.

Our love will burn

Hotter than the crematorium,

That reduces us to nothingness,

And releases our souls.

And together we shall usher in,

The end of days.

Termina.

4.

All this could have been,

But it was not

Meant to be.

And so I sit alone,

By the black shores

Of eternity.

And I part my veins,

Under the edge of cold steel,

To rejoin you,

Forever,

To watch as it rots.

All that we love.

Termina.
